I said this time they should put their money where their mouth is to show the government you're serious.

In 10 years' time, hopefully TMN will be like NOL or MISC now.

I'm pretty sure everything will be complete by the end of the year.

For the first time there are limits on the government money. All the cost overruns are on the teams. That's a cap. I call it taxpayer protection. After the three-eighths cent tax, everything else is on the team.

The government enjoys having the use of your money all year. They get to spend and invest it for themselves, and you don't. So unless Uncle Sam is your favorite uncle, don't be giving him extra money all year round!

These taxpayers have gone all year without the money — money they unnecessarily overpaid to the government to begin with — and suddenly they are in a hurry to get it back. But even a cash advance on a credit card is more attractive than a RAL at these rates if they are that hard up for cash.
