I’ve read that something like 30% is skimmed off the top of highway funds before we even think about blowing money on wasteful transportation spending.

There’s plenty of money for highways, its just being blown on other crap.

I live right next door to Virginia —in Maryland, and our tax and spedn Governor M.O.M. just steals the taxes from the highway funds and uses them somewhere else (Probably Casa De Maryland and to pay for the Mexican College fund)then screams for more.

We pay more than enough to fix the roads if it were used for the roads.

Hope Va. makes out better.

What gets me is that liberals like to point to highways and bridges and say see we need big government for highways and bridges. To which I respond terrific stick with highways and bridges. But they can’t even take care of highways and bridges.
