First off I want to point out that Im looking at this as the "big picture"

Now it seems to me that this is another perfect example of American style capitalist government failing to due its duty. It bothers me to a great deal that people are getting rich and nothing is getting done. 7 Billion dollers, 8 1/2years later and nothing has been done due to bureaucracy. Absolutely Unbelievable. Where the hell did this 7 Billion dollers go. Jesus christ almighty the skyscrapers could of been built already. What the hell is the matter with these people. I believe if you look at history this keeps reminding me of the roman empire. Very Sad. You need to get the corperations out of controling and running the counrty. America needs banking regulations and control. Free markets are failing. The reason I get so upset is because everything Canada implements similer to America things get worse and worse for the middle class. From privitization of electricity, to medical to trade. I hope the best for all Americans but I just can't see a bright future in the next 50 years for America or Canada if we follow your ways.
Can you please make your statements more vague and generalized.

How can you expect people to take your opinion on fiscal matters seriously when you aren't even capable of forming an argument.

Your news story...I went through it real quick, but I can not for the life of me figure out what you are going on about.

The article seems to clearly state to me that the project is in limbo largely because of the port authority clogging up the construction site, overbearing gvmt that can't make up it's mind, extreme regulations, and too many opinions on how things should be.

For god sake, the NYPD insisted that an ass load of granite be removed and elevated 200ft in the air perched on a concrete bunker cause it might be hit by a truck bomb, so they had to start over.

If you want to use that article as an example of anything except proof the gvmt is the problem not capitalism (except maybe toilet paper) you really have a lot of explaining to do. The term capitalist gvmt in the context doesn't even make sense. Is the port authority making a profit? No, they're fvcking it up for free.

Where did the money go?
IDK, you tell me...after all this is your freakin example.
Was it paid to contractors and architects and materials that are on site as we speak...or did the money fall into the hands of some unethical business man, or maybe bribes to inspectors and politicians. The problem is you don't fvcking know. You don't know where things went wrong, how they could have been done better. How capitolism was somehow responsible. You don't even pretend to have a theory.
