We could have better services at a cheaper cost with everybody paying less tax and charges if only governments would forget political dogma and correctness and use some common sense.

The way things are going more and more money will be wasted and more and more money will be demanded. It's time to break that process that takes you to the bankruptcy court and for governments to start planning more effectively to meet society's needs and not their own.
If you thought the dome was a really stupid idea then take a look at this one.
