I believe many of you had strong words for me when I wrote that. But I still believe you tax those who are actually using the roads and bridges. To date, Congress has been dropping $30 billion or so each year into the high way fund...that money comes from the general fund so you're paying either way; either through the income tax or a gas tax. But, with the gas tax you're making those 47 per centers who pay no income tax pay their fair share through the gas tax. Obama's plan is just another workaround that hurts the American worker and still gives those 47 per centers a free ride.

RINO's are solidly in control - and they have a history (via the likes of Boehner The Gelding) of capitulation to Dim demands, and BO knows it. Instead of dictating to Obama the way the budget will go, they sit back and look stupid, as though there is nothing they can do to stop him. I have little faith these folks will grow a backbone any time soon. Too bad, 'cause if this continues, you WILL see Queen Hillary in less than two years along with a Dim Senate and a precarious House...TheRandy Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-34703179187886436382015-02-02T08:09:14.658-07:002015-02-02T08:09:14.658-07:00Yeh.
