We’re both private school kids, I can tell. Glad you think you get your full dollar’s worth on military spending and infrastructure, especially rural infrastructure.
I’m very much aware there’s waste. Yes, it needs to be addressed. However, for myself , the feeling of building financial security is worth more to me (right now) than quality of services derived from taxes. Only reason I’ve ever lived in the city is due to work. If I didn’t need to manage a hybrid schedule I would move. My interest are wholly in the outdoors, so I really wouldn’t be missing much.
