Frivolous and wasteful projects are the food source of the swamp. This has been going on since democrats became majority in congress since the IKE era.

... billions for things that have nothing to do with roads and bridges.

So true, that's what they do. Squander the taxes on non-related items, then squawk for more higher taxes. Sickening!

That's what they do around here with bridge tolls. A temporary increase that becomes permanent. Rather than fix and maintain the bridge, they spend the money on luxury ferry boats and buses, trails, bike paths, and non-bridge projects. Then they demand higher tolls.

Same happens locally with roads. Car owners pay increased registration fees and higher gas taxes. The money is then used to reduce lanes on roads in favor of bicycle lanes and signal lights for bicycles. They should make bicycle owners pay registration fees!

Billions stolen from vehicle owners, and billions more is demanded for frills! Pisses us off. They need to fix the damn roads for vehicle owners.

What is so hard with states paying for their own roads? Even the Interstates within those states should be paid for by the states.

Not to mention lucrative salaries, benefits and pensions.

“A cardinal rule of government ought to be: stop wasting money before demanding taxpayers hand over more.”

Hahahahahahahahah - what planet do you live on?

Start by issuing an EO overriding the ridiculous unfunded mandate requiring “ADA compliant curb cuts” on any highway project involving an intersection....even if those “ADA compliant curb cuts” are unconnected to any sidewalk.

To the credit of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation—in spite over a decade of DemonKKKrat Governors—they remind the taxpayers that these “ramps to nowhere” are part of every project.

stop wasting money before demanding taxpayers hand over more. When it comes to the Highway Trust Fund and the gas tax, Congress has failed to learn this simple lesson.

Tell me this was copied from the Babylon Bee because I am dying laughing here. What naif wrote this foolishness. The wellfare of the taxpayers has nothing to do with anything that goes on in DC, and the editorial board of the Hill knows that as well as anyone.

Stop wasting taxpayer money - hee hee hee. That's a good one!

Tell that to Greta.

None of them seem to “apreciate” that government is the big out of control polluter to curb.

Notwithstanding that they want to tax carbon so as to abolish carbon consuming internet free speech... so that Sorros and co can be subsidised with said taxes to pollute as they much in their speech propaganda campaigns...
