The latest actions by Junior George's training ground in Texas to raise revenue without raising taxes are a new rule which makes all roads which get worked on for now - forward into toll roads ... and a $30 surcharge on all traffic tickets to the general fund. There has been an immediate lowering of speed limits especially at the bottom of hills.

Public money? Where do you think THAT comes from?

It comes from individual taxpayers, and the money has been looted by this white house in a bizarre reverse robin hood crony spending fest.

I paid a small fortune in taxes in the 90s and I want my money back. I didn't mind paying it, THEN, to shore up the budget and improve things. Dubya sent my money to his crony friends as a form of payola. What did I see for it or what did US citizens see for it- NOTHING. The big corps just added to their global operations at the US's expense.
