Senators call for 12-cent gas-tax increase to replenish highway fund

[Rotagilla]

Government will always be influenced on where the money goes, that they collect.

The only difference between 1780s, and 2010s, is that the amount of money being confiscated and given out, is larger. That's is.

And the only solution to that problem, is simply to give government less money.

You're just another of many starve the beast brainwashed idiots.

The solution is to cut government spending, not create economy & job killing inflation by subsidizing political supporters by reducing their taxes while exploding spending as Repubtards do.

Clinton with Democrat Congress & Obama cut government spending, reduced inflation rates, grew jobs & the economy.

Reagan & the Bush's explode spending, raise payroll taxes on workers to subsidize dividend & income tax cuts for Billionaires. This out of control spending explodes deficits & inflation. Raising payroll taxes kills jobs & reduces tax revenue adding to debt & inflation.

You can't drown the government in the bath tub by paying less tax, when it can barrow money & has a printing press. The way to reign in government is to cut deficit spending.

This is how Obama reduced the size & cost of government & Bush exploded the size & cost of government.

BTW: the Phillips Curve, Wage Price Spiral, Starve the Government Beast & Drown Government in the Bath Tub are all Economic Fictions created by cronies to steal wealth form working people & give it to crony entitled people.

To sum up;

obama - good
bush - bad
reagan - bad.

Sorry the truth hurts you idiots. Maybe someday you will get a clue.

Starve the Government Beast = Massive Runway Inflation.

To Hide Inflation They Rigged the CPI

Drown Government in the Bath Tub = Massive Runway Inflation.

Wage Price Spiral has never happened in this country. It is a completely fabricated fiction to get stupid people (Republican Voters) to believe the Massive Runway Inflation was caused by overpaid Wal-Mart workers.

The Phillips Curve is a completely fabricated fiction to get stupid people (Republican Voters) to believe we need Inflation to create jobs.

Great rebuttal....I can tell you're a deep thinker.

Here's a thought, scrap the federal gas tax altogether and the let the states fund their own damn roads. Why does D.C. need to do it?

Senators call for 12-cent gas-tax increase to replenish highway fund*-*Los Angeles Times

Another instance of liberals never thinking ahead with more efficient gas millage and electric cars

Wrong, it's just liberal politicians looking for more ill-gotten swag they can dispense to ticks on the ass of society.

Didn't we spend hundreds of billions in the "stimulus" (that didn't stimulate anything) on "shovel ready" jobs (that weren't) that was supposed to repair infrastructure stuff like roads and bridges? If it is a pressing need now for more revenue, then I want to know where the money that was supposed to already fix the problems went and I want it back.

Over one third of the stimulus was tax cuts.

Please let us know how much of it you would like to give back, since that extra money in your pocket didn't stimulate any new spending from you.

TARP was what, $700 billion? 2/3 of that is $466 billion. That's a lot of money that should have fixed a lot of roads. Since Obama was in charge of doling that money out and he promised all those "shovel ready" infrastructure jobs, where did the money go? Of course, we know he was lying, because he later had to admit the jobs weren't "shovel ready", but that's irrelevant to the point, which is that he had hundreds of billions of dollars supposedly targetted at infrastructure improvements, such as roads and bridges. Again, if they're begging for more revenue and the roads still aren't fixed, Obama has lied and wasted a lot of money. I know this is rhetorical, because we know he threw it to his rich buddies. If Bush had done that, the liberal left would still be frothing at the mouth, demanding his execution.

You're just

When I meet people as dumb as you, I ignore them. When you start off with a personal attack, and then making up dozens of pathetic strawman arguments, why bother responding other than to mock and insult?

You are an idiot. The fact you couldn't dispute a single thing I said, without just going straight to insults, is proof you are too plain stupid to be on this forum. Grow up, or get off.

I haven't met anyone that got any of those tax cuts. I certainly didn't get any of them.

Have you even looked at what those tax 'cuts' were?

Most of them were 'tax credits'. Well a tax credit, is only worth something if you pay *income* taxes to begin with. Half the country pays no income tax, thus a tax *CREDIT* for a taxes you are not paying, doesn't help anything.

Like they increased the earned income tax credit..... only on families with 3 or more children.

Well that limits it down doesn't it?

Alternative minimum tax. Which benefits who? The lower 80% of tax payers were not getting hit with the alternative minimum tax.

Homebuyer credit? Really? So in the middle of a mortgage crisis, when encouraging people who couldn't afford a home crashed the entire economy, we're going to encourage people to buy a home on credit again?

Home energy credit? So if you invest thousands into updating your home, you can get a home energy credit? Who did that benefit? Wealthy people.

Cutting unemployment tax? Great. Good incentive to stay on the government dole.

Bonus depreciation, Money-losing companies, Government contractors, Renewable Energy production, Cash for Clunkers.

Not one single tax cut benefited me. Nor do I know anyone whom it did benefit.

So when you say stupid crap comments like
"Please let us know how much of it you would like to give back"

Maybe you got some money, but most of us didn't. Maybe you are the rich elite that benefited from the stimulus. It certainly wasn't most of us.

Second, all of that is irrelevant to what the poster said.

The prior poster said
"Didn't we spend hundreds of billions in the "stimulus""

And we did. We spent $550 Billion. Not TARP. Just $550 Billion in 'stimulus spending'.

Well if our infrastructure was in such desperate need of repair, why didn't you mindless idiots on the left, use that $550 BILLION to do all those repairs??? HUH?!?

If you people on the left, which had control of the House, the Senate, AND the presidency, can blow through HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS in "stimulus" spending, and STILL NOT FIX THE FREAKIN ROAD....... SHUT UP!

Seriously. You have zero credibility on this. None.

None of us care what an idiot thinks. So just keep blabbering on like the idiot you are. Or you could try growing up, but I'm not holding my breath on that.
