The Sand Trap

[Coyett]

I don't know where the blame should be placed. Government? Opposition? Perhaps the voters? In any case, the government sponsored "challenge 2008" plans and the "ten infrastructure projects" have gone so far off course that's it's entirely likely many of them will never be realized.

For those keeping track, I offer a score card on the latest bogey-filled round of development.

perhaps, we expect too much from the congress...:slob:

I think it is we dont expect enough from the congress. All they do is fight and worry about stupid things like if A-bian will be an American grandfather. They should worry more about the people. But it is sad that they dont.

i've never understood the relationship between the place where the president's grand-son will be born with the national politics...it's a private matter. or those lawmakers should have opened a "ba-kua" yuan...:rolleyes:
