"We don't have enough money to spend"

That sums up liberalism very well.

Vote out the conservatives who want toll roads everywhere. 8 dollars to travel 6 miles. I would take a 5 cent gas tax over toll roads anyday.

8 dollars looks cheap.

"Rates along the Dulles Toll Road could double starting next year if Virginia doesn’t deliver on a promise to contribute $150 million for the second phase of Metrorail’s new Silver Line.

In that case, tolls for a one-way trip that now costs $2.25 could increase to $4.50, according to a consultant’s report prepared for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and presented during a board meeting Wednesday. If the state money comes through, tolls for the same trip could still rise to $2.75."

Yeah right, like the alternative of adding 30 minutes to a commute taking backroads is so appealing. When the greenway opened the toll was less than a dollar. At $8 the tollroad is basically becoming an elitist option for those who make the $$$.

The problem is McDonnell wants to borrow $3 billion. Borrow-and-spend always leads to higher taxes, tolls, and fees down the road.

Here's the problem. Everyone wants government services, and wants THE OTHER GUY to pay for them.

If we could pare down what government ACTUALLY does, and people pulled their heads out of their asses in order to pay their fair share, which everyone from the person who makes $25K per year to the person who makes $25MIL per year needs to do....we wouldn't have a problem.

People, as a group, are selfish shitheads.

There is no excuse to pass the buck of infrastructre on to the tax payers after the 2009 "Stimulus" package was passed that was supposed to fund shovel ready jobs. That "stumulus" is now built into the baseline budget every year.

Where is all this money going? Certaintly not infrastructure.

From the Economist:

"The stimulus bill’s spending on infrastructure may have been doomed to mediocrity from the start. First, and most important, a relatively small share of the bill was actually devoted to infrastructure. Mr Obama called the bill “the largest new investment in our nation’s infrastructure since Eisenhower built an interstate highway system in the 1950s.” But even on the broadest definition of the term, infrastructure got $150 billion, under a fifth of the total. Just $64 billion, or 8% OF THE TOTAL WENT TO ROADS, public transport, rail, bridges, aviation and wastewater systems."

yeah, but that's because the republitards screamed and cried so loud about the stimulus that not even half of it wound up being stimulus. the rest was more tax cutting bullshit.

if liberals are confiscatory now, it's because they're trying to avoid confiscating everything from subsequent generations.

If I were a betting man, I'd wager it went to help fund bankrupt entitlement programs.

Naturally everyone who can afford goods/services that I cannot is an "elitist".

Give me a break.

Easiest way to fix the gas tax is to raise short-term rates to 3 to 4 percent. The price of oil would drop to 50 to 70 dollars a barrel. The price at the pump would be around $1.50 to $2.00. One avenue for the transfer of wealth from the middle class to the bankers would be shut off.
