[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In every State, road repairs and new road construction is largely paid for by gasoline taxes.  This has some logic behind it as those who drive the most, pay the most.

In 20 years - the majority of the vehicles on the roads will not run on gasoline.  Without that gas tax revenue, how do you pay for road repairs?

Gee, I don't know.  Maybe fire the government bureaucrats who make up most of the "repair" department and only pay the people that are actually fixing the roads?

Less admin, more work.  Crazy, huh?[/quote]

Yes, sounds crazy. Show us the numbers please that indicate firing "the government bureaucrats" (name the positions you'd fire) -- how much money is going to be saved and will that cover the costs of repairing the roads.

Thanks![/quote]

What am I showing you?  The deputy to the deputy of the branch chief and assistant branch chief and the associate branch chief of the department of transportation, hinterlands branch?

If you haven't worked in government, I guess you don't have a clue.  But I would hope you have some common sense like most of the country. [u]This isn't a secret.[/u]

The growth of the administrative state of paper pushers (senior, mid-level, junior, and everything in-between) is alive and well at the federal, state and local government levels.

If you don't know, you don't know, although it's a shame you haven't informed yourself of the fact that gravity exists by now.  75% of .gov is a jobs program, and a very inefficient one at that.[/quote]
