Yeah, this kind of shit happens all over the place. Those tax breaks should be going to farmers not to the developers. Only exception is if the land is ACTUALLY being used for farming or growing/selling hay.

From the post:

>Real estate developers across Kansas are acquiring vacant plots in commercial areas as 'hay farms' to avail a special tax break law. Open lush green areas around the Plaza at the Speedway outdoor shopping mall in Kansas City have been turned into 'farms'. These lands do not have any livestock or cultivation but is instead covered in trash. County Appraiser Matt Willard explained: 'Livestock doesn't eat trash. And that's what's getting baled up in that situation. Literal refuse from the surrounding properties.

We used to have a law on the books (federally) that you could not pass any kind of new project/spending unless you had a source of funding lined up and that funding could NOT be "borrow more". I think it was ended at the end of the Clinton Era. We had a surplus before then..

Now we are drowning in debt with no way out. We need to return to fiscally responsible spending, cut all government spending, stop giving other countries free $$, increase Tariffs massively.. etc.

There's always a way out. It's just that people don't have the stomach for it.

First, disband the Fed. Go back to a gold standard. Second, make it illegal for the federal government to "give" money to state/local governments.

The other things will take care of themselves when there is real money again.
