More DemonRAT fraud. When are RATs going to jail?

I’m not advocating privatizing everything.

I am an anti-monopolistic capitalist who understands that there are public utilities and services that need to be funded through tax payer dollars.

The tax paying public should have the right to vote on a budget and it should be written in the state constitution that the budget be balanced to prior year revenues. This almost guarantees the avoidance of shortfalls.

We should have core services that are guaranteed funding.

• Public Schools K-12 Core Curriculum/Extra Curricular activities
• Community College 2 Year Associates or Skilled Labor Apprenticeship
• Police/Fire
• Subsidized Public Utliities
• Transportation infrastructure incl Port of Seattle, Roads, Bridges and a subsidized ferry system
• Public Parks

The following should be 100% usership funded:

• Bike lanes
• Stadium/Entertainment Venues
• Express/HOV Lane expansion
• Light Rail

One of the biggest drivers of spending is the growth in government employment itself. Inslee added 10,000 head counts to the rolls in his 10 years in office and big ticket items like DEI initiatives plus an army of part time legislators all earning 6 figures are huge contributors, to say nothing of the absolute black hole of homelessness and drug addiction “services” where the potential for fraud and abuse is through the roof and the results have been nothing but more homelessness and drug addiction. When you throw pigeon feed out, more pigeons seem to show up.

WA has a spending problem. It has a mission problem. It does NOT have a revenue problem and it’s time to get the budget committee and some accountants locked in a policy think tank where they are given a 40b budget and told to make it work.

Our current path is totally untenable and “taxing the rich” isn’t the answer. I guess they learned that to an extent because now it’s “let’s just tax the fuck out of everyone.” I hate these people with every fiber of my being.

bicycle registrations should pay for bike lanes

I want to pay for parks, schools, police, and fire.

public transportation should be self sufficient.

It should not cost 140b to run this state annually. That is absurd.

The deep state is big mad and will fight back hard. Difficult years to come with an unelected bureaucracy trying to bolster their tyranny and push a one world government.
