By the way, if this money is going to the TSA, I hope they’ll kindly be slightly more honest and refer to “abuser fees” instead of “user fees” if they aren’t going to honest and call this a tax increase.

Ouch.

Here in Maryland we had a GOP RINO governor Bob Erlich who won on a promise to not raise taxes.(RNC Micheal Steele was his assistant gov)

Well the Democrat assembly (both houses) kept sending him popular spending bills he was scared to veto like on education.

This led to some budget problems and bondholder threats so he cut a deal with the Dems to raise a bunch of fees and create some new ones that were litlle more than taxes.
Like a tax on water use that those who used well water had to pay.

Well Dems used his compromise with them to boot him out of office by calling him dishonest( Martin O Malley), then the AH tried to run again last year and again they ran commercials of him in past claiming they really were not taxes and that he kept his promise.

Now he is perfect example of a GOPe RINO who was born to lose.
