Raising gas taxes to pay for infastructure, don't even think about it. There's not an easier way to go door ass out after 1 term than higher gas and oil prices.

    Don't be so fiscally reckless. Pay as you go. If the money goes towards infrastructure then it's not a bad idea.

    Don’t worry obk. It wouldn’t pass anyway. Did you see what happened to trump’s immigration plan? No one respects him, or is scared of him. Infrastructure is DOA. The trump Agenda is DOA.

    Nobody is going to pass a new gas tax and take heat from their constituents for Trump's infrastructure plan.

    Republicans won't because their supporters are obk types who will lash out at any new taxes. Democrats won't because Trump.

    Using a transportation tax to pay for the upkeep of transportation infrastructure is absolutely INSANE
    Like we do it in Washington state?

    This is trump 2018. Nothing will pass. We should shut the whole worthless enterprise down. Drain the swamp!

    States are supposed to govern themselves anyway under a strict reading of the constitution.

    Trump just needs to take the middle class tax break away.

    If you want more taxes, maybe Europe is more your speed.

    Frankly we should privatize all roads. You use it, you pay for it. I fucking LOVE 520 toll and 405 'special use' lanes. Pay to use.

    Got way fucking Tired of sitting in fucking traffic with poor free loaders. I pay now and cruise right on by now baby. Should be that way every fucking place.

    I don't want to fucking subsidize roads for people like Salemkewg. Fuck that. Liberty and free markets bitches. Nothing else.
    Fuck that shit. I'm finished with the excuses that we need more taxes to pay for this garbage. We're taxed on everything and anything under the sun. Instead, trim the bureaucracy. Give it a big haircut. Cut the wages and pensions of bureaucrats, politicians and government employees to pay for infastructure, or fuck it.

    Auctioning assets is also something Trump threw out as another option. CNNMSNBCABCCBSNBC didn’t want to hear that.

    They only talk tax increase.

    Fine. THAT, and privatize the ever loving shit outta this bitch. Listen to me!! Do that and watch 99% of our problems go right out the fucking window. It'll be messy and awkward for a bit while we clean out the riff raff, but in the end it'll be best.

    Let's not raise the military budget by $80B and use the money for roads instead.

    Christ. Toll roads and bridges are fine here and there, but have it little gratitude will ya. It was BIG GUVMINT that built the infrastructure that made this country the most prosperous in human history. Private enterprise could never have achieved this because the risk was to great or not enough ROI in the short term.

    I know you do, but I'm sick and fucking tired of sitting behind you on 520 breathing the exhaust from your 1982 Toyota Corolla. I want to breathe Porsche exhaust doing 70.

    Nothing worse that being in the fast track lanes stuck in traffic and realizing you paid to go the same speed as the shit head in the regular lanes.

    More often than not though, they are worth it.

    On the other hand a private company built a new exchange at JBMFL or whatever in record time under budget

    I agree the interstates wouldn't exist without Ike and the gubmint. But to fix them we could be creative.

    You aren't going to fix many roads or expand them at a billion dollars a mile. It has to be more efficient

    All that means is that we need to pull harder on the "raise the price" lever. That's the beauty of the market. I would pay enuff to drive fast. Need to jack it up so that the riff raff gets out the fucking way on price.

    Allocate resources in accordance with their highest value use. In this case, allocate the lane to Creep, and move Snow and SalemKewg over and out of his way until they figure out how to make more money.
