They do it every year and then cry the road aren’t getting fixed and we need to raise taxes.
“They do it every year and then cry the road aren’t getting fixed and we need to raise taxes.”
No. They do it every year, then the locals campaign on the slogan that they are “keeping your taxes down” as their party friends in D.C. deliver on their campaign promise of giving you all that free money from the federal treasury;
in spite of the actual fact that not a dime that comes from the federal government did not come from you in the first place, only it costs two dollars to give you back every dollar that was taken out of your local economy and sent to D.C. But the myth of keeping taxes down and increased manna from heaven in D.C. goes on.
In fact the only thing that federal spending on local needs does is transfer power over taking care of those needs to federal politicians and ALWAYS at greater expense (not accounted for locally because that additional expense occurs in D.C.).
