re: Why does Louisiana suck?

Louisiana has immense potential. But it will never be realized unless the good ole boy system is done away with and accountability is restored for criminals.

Eventually their children will apply this same logic when they fail a test in school. Wouldn’t have failed the test if it wasn’t for that pencil/pen.
re: Ohio did away with the gas tax for 90 days

Federal rate went to 18.4 cents in 1993 and hasn’t moved. Louisiana’s been stuck at 20 cents since about 1990. Frozen rate is not the same thing as “the money isn’t there.” The Highway Trust Fund still takes in on the order of $43–48 billion a year in fuel and truck taxes. What broke is Congress spends past that. Since 2008 they’ve dumped roughly $270 billion in general-fund transfers into the trust fund to cover the gap. The 2021 infrastructure bill alone transferred $118 billion into it, $90 billion highways and $28 billion transit, on top of the taxes we were already paying. That’s the printing. It wasn’t found money for roads we never funded. It was deficit cash because they authorized more than the user fee brings in. And a chunk of that gas tax never touches a road. About 2.86 cents of the federal 18.4 goes straight to the mass transit account before a single pothole gets filled. Then the studies, the consultants, and the projects that take 8 years and come in at triple the bid. Louisiana’s roads are still garbage after $4.5 billion out of that bill because the problem was never “the guy filling up his truck didn’t pay enough.” It was spending past the receipts and not putting the receipts on pavement.
So no. I’m not ok with printing trillions for something the user fee was already supposed to cover, then acting shocked when the holes are still there and groceries cost more. If there isn’t enough to maintain what we have, stop building new stuff we can’t maintain and stop raiding the fund. Raising the tax so the same machine can spend $1.69 for every dollar it collects isn’t a plan. It’s how we got here.

$4.5 billion of it went to Louisiana for various projects. The same is true in every state in the Union. Mostly spent in rural areas for the most part for things like high speed fiber internet and of course road repair / maintenance and construction. Lot of bridges mentioned in the pages of Louisiana GOP politicians about how they secured money from the bill in the state.....
That’s great. Now where was the money we’ve been paying in the form of taxes that was supposedly meant for our infrastructure spent on all these years? Why did we need this massive spending bill that increased inflation exponentially?

They never hold the other side accountable. Which is why it’s useless voting for them.

The problem is that the tax dollars we’ve been paying have not been used for their supposed purposes. Our government has chosen to finance their own pet projects and buy votes via entitlement programs. We are paying more and more every year and discovering more and more fraud every year. That infrastructure bill was not money we had in savings, it was just printed out. Meaning all of our dollars that we had in savings and earn with our work was worth less and less.

But why did we need a spending bill for infrastructure that we’ve already been paying taxes for?
But we’ve always been paying taxes forever that was supposed to be for our infrastructure. Yet Biden passed the largest spending bill in history that was supposedly meant to pay for infrastructure improvements that we were already paying taxes for. Also that money had to be spent in 5 years if I’m not mistaken. Where’s that money?
Better not catch any of the kangs using the internet, vehicles of any type, air conditioning, modern medicine…
Sure thing. Diesel export ban in place immediately. Also pull out all troops and resources from Europe. Let them rot.

How can we continue to allow the excuse of mental illness to be used to prevent filth from facing accountability for their actions? It isn’t allowed when someone kills someone drunk driving.

Congratulations on doing your job. Took musk to come in and expose this shite. Then even more exposure of the learing centers and crap in Minnesota along with California where they passed laws to prevent the exposure of such fraud. It’s on every level. Government workers are losers.

He did marry a staffer that is 20 years younger. I mean I think that’s unacceptable. But I guess if you don’t have standards or are willing to compromise them, then you do you.
Nope, I just don’t want to do the bidding of Israel anymore. Also, this is going to turn into another multi year war that cost trillions and nothing will be made better here. But we took care of another one of Israel’s enemies for them.

On the second to last drive where we settled for a field goal, we had a touchdown on the play before the field goal if Leavitt stays in the pocket. Had a receive wide open in the middle.
I think you mean all of our representatives that get money from aipac are crapping their pants.
How long do you think they looked for an image that was good enough before they just settled on this?
