Yes, now you have been caught up to speed. If states wish to try and get federal money to help with their local and state roads, then that is a separate issue.

Lets look again...

Obamas new taxes are for more than just roads.
Obama budget calls for largest federal civilian workforce since Cold War - Washington Times
The federal civilian workforce will reach its highest level since the end of the Cold War under the budget President Obama submitted to Congress on Monday, surging by more than 100,000 employees over the next two years as he tries to restock agencies he says have been decimated by GOP-led cuts.

All told, Mr. Obama will have added more than 160,000 civilian workers to the executive branch since he took office, putting him on pace to top President George W. Bush for the biggest expansion in modern political history. When civilians at the Department of Defense are discounted, Mr. Obama is already the leader, with 124,000 jobs added in his first seven years.


But how can this be? Obama sycophants keep saying that Obama is reducing government, you don't think they're lying do you?

Just what we need right, more government employees eating at the taxpayer trough. All of the money to pay for these jobs comes out of someones pocket, someone who is creating value in the economy, not just siphoning money off like government jobs.

Prove what? Also there is nothing to actually answer in your question, that is why I didn't answer it.

Default I listened to President Obama's

... State of the Union speech and now his proposed budget, and just finished the WWII movie "Fury" which covers the period April 1945, forward, in that war fought in Germany.

What the two things have in common was that one man, Hitler, prolonged the war unnecessarily, and, our president, Obama, seems to act just as irrationally by increasing and attempting to increase the horrendous national debt.

So a wacky leader can do considerable damage.

Frankly no one believes that the economy has turned around, that unemployment is only 5%, or that there is not a "smidgen" of bad conduct in the IRS scandal, among other fiascos. As Obama says.

The closest thing Obama's conduct brings to mind is a compulsive gambler who continues to double down his losing bets with other peoples' money.

Did you just call Obama a Hitler? Yeah, not seeing this common connection you are trying to make.

Maybe you're right, but the rest of the world believes otherwise.

Yeah, the Hitler thing rang a bell in my pantry.

I'm not sure if the following link is in this thread -- I didn't see it, but perhaps I missed it:

"General Explanations of the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2016 Revenue Proposals" published by the US Department of the Treasury, February 2015.

http://www.treasury.gov/resource-cen...ons-FY2016.pdf

and

http://www.treasury.gov/resource-cen...planation.aspx


It is worth a look.

It is worth a look.
Thanks for the links. I'll post my thoughts after 3 weeks or so, when I finish reading the whole thing.
