Oh Arlington...being rich and influential can be so much fun!

Wasn't BRAC supposed to save the government beaucoup bucks??? Muchos dinero???? lots-o-lira???? Then why are the feds paying a rich county like Arlington, Virginia $900 Million for the pain of losing a few thousand jobs? Isn't the whole reason why they relocated to Ft Belvoir so they could sprawl out on land at the expense of taxpayers paying for the roads and traffic out there? Arlington is not one of the military counties, totally fiscally dependent on their military jobs...what the government leaves, others will swoop in quickly to take its place. Its a cool place - not nowhere, NV where these alignments are really hurting communities. What a waste.
