Hey I have an idea, how bout we pay for it with Congress salaries. They haven’t earned one penny, just take the money we spend for their salaries and all the glorious perks - should be enough to pay for a few bridges.
Let's tax Congressional Salaries at 95% and require all non-spent campaign funds to be remitted to the Federal Treasury.
Oh, and make insider trading illegal for Congress.
And require all members of Congress to defend all sexual harassment lawsuits out of their own pocket: but to be assigned a Federal Lawyer from the Hazardous Waste group.
You missed one.
Chris. GFY!
Upstate NY is very similar to the former Eastern Europe.
One party rule, and the overriding philosophy is statism and progressivism. Many people work for the State at various levels, or are controlled by them, so they make up the controlling power of the state. The bounds of political debate are thus tightly bounded.

No to gas increase. Airline...didn’t care. Most only fly a few times a year.
taking more and more and more and more and MORE of the American workers’ money away from them ... the Communist-Democrapic agenda is defeating us!
I swear it’s the water in NY.
Fees are taxes. They are just called fees to avoid the negative connotation of taxes.
It is especially true when government is using them to solve a fiscal problem, and wants to raise money but doesn’t want to appear as if they are raising taxes.
The surcharges and fees on my water bill are just taxes. By law i have to be hooked up to municipal water, i cannot opt out, and so all people have no choice but to be users. Its a tax under another name.
For many flyers flying is the only thing they can use to do their jobs.
What a FREAKING DUMBASS!! Get your LOCAL GOVT. to fix your LOCAL POTHOLES, JERK!

Deport all illegals and visa over stayers and we won’t need all this new infrastructure.
