These guys are just unbelievable. They toss your state a bone, and then give another bone to the entire country.

So what happened to the trillions of dollars collected at the pump as “Road Tax”. Bait and switch.

Utah will get $3 billion in roads alone, Sen. Romney says


And how much liberty do we lose in the bargain? Mitt, “we’ve already established what you are, now we’re just haggling over the price”. (some here may get that reference)

3 billion in roads, but it will cost Utahans well over 100 billion in taxes and dollar devaluation to get it.

Mitt is a dumbass.

Spending set aside for years to come. What about taxes? What about inflation?
