But the trillion dollar stimulus was about pork and not doing anything but flushing tax dollars down a toilet.
After all, they must protect slimy snails from getting run over by cars...
Well at least the Cap and Trade Bill is dead. I just saw the Democrat for Senate in W. Va. shoot it between the eyes with a Deer Rifle. On Hannity.
This is BS— We are going to Tax government and it is going to REDUCE IT’S SIZE and the freeloading parasites are history!! YESSSSSSS!
The bastard really does want to sink us into a depression!
FUBO POS POTUS!
I’d take a 25 cent hit on gasoline ANY DAY, rather than selling off our highways to foreign companies (like Cintra) for monopoly-protected tolling, as has been done in Illinois, Indiana, and Texas (at a minimum). And this is EXACTLY what will happen if we don’t finance our highways through the gas tax.
But I DEFINITELY want that money going to highways, and not to “carpool lanes” or other other clever ideas - just regular highway lanes. Then I’m good.
(sorry if I offend people that want foreign ownership of our infrastructure, mileage-based tolling [with transponders], or some other utopian idea - I just want my kids to drive on the same highways, with the same freedoms and privacy, that I was blessed to be able to do)
Remember the $4.00/gallon gas in May of 2008?
Candidate Øbama said he didn’t see anything wrong with $4.00 gas, only that the price went up so quickly.
Trickle,trickle.
The price of gasoline was up 10-cents-per-gallon this week. Thanks Obama!
This Obama clown just refuses to understand that we don’t need more spending and we’re Taxed enough already.
What are we supposed to do?Give the government one hundred percent of our pay check.
Don’t forget - Gasoline at the pump went up $1 a gallon after Obama was elected.
And it has stayed there.
And another point to remember:
The rebuilding of infrastructure was supposed to be part of the original stimulus. Recall all the talk abouit projects being “shovel ready”? But we found out that so much of what has been spent was wasted on meaningless research grants and other payoffs to political supporters and very little actually went to physical improvements and the creation of real jobs.
So let’s get this down... they want to spend money we don’t have on “improving the roads” so people can “get to work better on better roads”. But then, the people who will use the roads will be hit with even higher gas taxes. These same people cannot afford the current price of gas, but now they’ll be out looking for work on better roads. The purpose of this road improvement is make work, and it is designed to keep more people unemployed. You cannot tax what is not paid for. People can’t pay, then they won’t pay. No increased revenue, more lost jobs, higher taxes. All part of the plan.
