i'm against government TELLING us the money they take from us is going to be used to fix the roads we pay taxes for, then spending it on some pork project.

i take it you AGREE with being lied to by your legislators, and having them use money that is SUPPOSED to be earmarked for road repairs for their pet projects.

you must. you oppose me, and i oppose being lied to.

i think that you and your 'krewe' just oppose me just because it's me, and just to be contrary. a typical michigander stand.

i keep asking questions because all i hear is whining and moaning from the leftists here. some want to teach a course in demcratic socialism, others just want to snipe.

NONE of you want to put up any real, concrete answers of your own.

what would YOUR SIDE do? tax us more? spend our money MORE frivolously? come up with MORE pork to spend our taxes on?

come on... let's hear YOUR ideas. YOUR governor got us into this mess, how is she going to get us out?

Cajun, your against everything, and I can imagine why. It's because you have nothing but questions and no answers. You and your little me too friend. How about coming up with solutions. I mean ones that will work in the real world, not your Robinson Crusoe, I can make it on my own fantasy land you live in on your computer screen.

This was an idea from another dumbocrat. The folks in lansingistan are busy writing more and dumber traffic laws everyday to steal our money and then are surprised that it takes more people to process all this nonsense. Cut all the budgets by 25% this year and 25% next year. Maybe we can lay off some of these gubmint workers and get our economy moving.
