It’s official- Arnold Schwarzenegger has no credibility as Governor anymore. He should leave public life.

Hey Arnold Schwarzenegger,

Go back to Austria to your backward village of Graz.

Maybe you can clean up that river running through the middle of your town that stinks because it is full of human sewage/waste.

Ahnold just got billions of stimulus for his bankrupt State.
He's looking ahead when after two years that stimulus is washed and sucked up in California.
Living within means seems not to appeal to Californians, (and others), but revolving Government stimulus definitely appeals to those high spenders.
Rampant inflation and increasing unemployment are right ahead.
The truths and wake up will be eye opening.

“You need to move people and goods around very quickly, so if that falls behind, the economy falls behind.”

Yes, and of course you do this by taking money out of people’s pockets and giving it to the government. I think he dropped the weights on his head too many times.

Two things:

1. If they get this gas tax, watch the money carefully, to make sure it even goes to roads, and doesn’t go into some slush fund as with Social Security.

2. They don’t really want a lot of people driving anyway. Yes, gas is going to go up again, they will make sure of that. Liberals can’t allow these cheap prices to continue, with the result of people to starting back up buying the big vehicles they like to drive.

Impossible. All money goes into the federal coffers. All money is disbursed from the federal coffers. Targeted taxes/spending are about as real as unicorns.

There is no such thing as $ from tobacco going to [insert BS cause here] or road taxes going directly to roads. No more than there is a "trust fund" for SS.
Any more than my wife's check buys the food and mine buys the car. You gotta have both and they come out of the same pool of money.

It's just liberal Orwellian Newspeak.

But I think the important thing is that there’s a willingness amongst the people to pay for it.”

Needing gas to survive is not the same as willingness.

Someone shut this putz up. You don’t raise taxes on people when the economy tanks unless you want it to tank very badly at a faster pace.

Nah... still the same, I just lose my cool sometimes.

It happens to the best of us, I think.

Yes, but Arnold makes him seem less venomous. I've never heard of Perry wanting to raise gas taxes.

I don't like KBH either. Most people I know are reluctantly going to vote for RP.

We sure don't want the Houston Mayor!
