New Toll Roads

It seems that we are under funding the Mass Turnpike/DPW and they are 19 BILLION short on what they need to take care of the roads in the state. The answer? Tolls of course. Never mind that this state is in trouble and needs to cut it’s budget of all the fat. Forget that we pay top dollar for cops to work construction sites on the road instead of paying for flag man like other states. Forget that Deval has a bunch of pet projects he wants to fund. And for God sake, FORGET that we don’t take down the tolls when they are done – The Mass Pike has been paid for for years now and we still pay to drive on it.

This is a bunch of bull. We are looking at a new way to get $$ out of us instead of cutting cost and putting what they have where it is needed. Once again they cry foul and scream that the crisis is where it will hurt us and then they take more money and quietly keep all their friends and family on the payroll in the background.

We need some new faces in this state’s government, someone who will make the needed cuts and hard calls to cut spending, and move the money they have to where it is needed, not where they have hacks working on our payroll. . . and while we are at it we need to get rid of all the friends and families on the pay roll.

Forget the tolls, lets get rid of the socialist programs we can’t afford like this healthcare fiasco we are already overpaying for and put the money where it is needed. This is the fun of living in a liberal welfare state. . . we work, they take the money. . .. . . it is time we got them out of our pockets and back to doing what they are supposed to and out of the rest of the crap they got their fingers into. Socialism don’t work, lets move on.
