so at what point do we stop raising taxes and start paying down the debt? your logic makes me laugh . spend spend spend but there is no money to spend ? you make a good point about the roads and bridges but i ask why then do the dems dig a tunnel under the river, spend hundreds of millions of dollars on it, then dont charge people to use it . meanwhile the bridges in pittsburgh are horrible. what about their drink tax that was the answer to the port auth's problems? didnt work did it? another new tax that failed and only ticked people off. you spend and dont worry about adding to the debt is whats wrong with our country. good thing the state has to have a balanced budget.
