Why put this on the general public? The main beneficiary of good infrastructure is business. Business requires a way to move its goods, get employees to the workplace and get goods and equipment to the workplace. Infrastructure is also there for policing and the initial reason for the interstates was for military movement. Although we all benefit from good infrastructure the people that make profits from it should be the ones to shoulder the largest percentage of the cost. Not further decreasing disposable income from the general public, or maybe you think of them as peasants.

I can easily answer that- Because the residents of California pay much more into federal coiffures than any other state. It’s not even close. We are the 6th largest economy in the world and this country would really fall apart without Calf proceeds.

Comrade Mikie

Queeg never forgets the frantic appeals of chubby Plutocrats working us toward a Detroit existence. Look at formerly beautiful Orange County now having 1/3 of population in need, poverty. Crap apartments, miserable schools, overcrowding, roads crumbling and congested with aging vehicles similar to Crockadillos….

It takes ” Enlightened Citizens” to maintain our Republic. We have long forgotten that it is “We the People” who created our Federal government. It is time to Self-educate, then Stand up, Speak up, and Show up for Federalism. Please join us at conventionofstates.com. We thank you.

Screams by the usual tax/spenders for roads and dams and bridges when “it’s all for the pensions”.

You will witness the biggest political bait and switch in your lifetime!

Your wallets please-

These budget items, no matter how important, are gradually squeezing out the spending that are investments in our economic future. I don’t have the answer, but I think I’ve identified the problem.
