The government checkbook should have always been like this: balance, deposits, checks written to whom, amount and what for, done everyday and viewable to the American people. No hidden agendas or theft. Always open to ask why by the people.
We're 3 weeks into Trump47 & have 205 weeks still showing on the Happy Fun Wheel. I'm gonna loosen the seat belt a bit, relax, engage cruise control. More fun than any gubmit admin I've survived so far. ,Robert17
The president of Panama says free passage is false. Further, the Canal Authority, not that country's government, has sole authority regarding transit fees.
Anyway, given that the majority of commercial vessels are foreign flagged, I reckon 'U.S. ship' applies only to fedgov ships such as USN or NOAA research and the like. Given that it is likely only a small number of U.S. ships transit the canal in any given year, I suspect the savings would be the low millions. This even though the transit fees for a single ship is a couple of million.
This is a big nothing burger. I'd rather we take the whole canal zone back, undoing Carter's stupid move.
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

ReplyDeletewv citybilly, how many would it take? 100,000, or 500,000, or 1,000,000 men working together. It seems to be going OK now.
