With the liberals there is never a temporary tax increase, and if they are forced to cut taxes, they want them to be temporary.

At a Christmas Party last year, a dyed in the wool tax and spender was proposing a temporary tax increase to pay for teachers etc, (she is a bureaucrat in education). My normally quiet wife said, "Sure just like the temporary tolls and increases on the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge." Even the other liberals had to laugh.

Good points. Spending is the problem.

During World War II, wasn't there a "temporary" tax on tires - for the war effort - and that tax has lasted for 60 + years and still going like the Energizer Bunny?

The cut in the automobile tax the last few years - which Gray so touted his first term - is really temporary. They want to raise it back to the 1998 level.
