I believe our President is putting our nation into an economic mudslide and is looking for an event which he could use to declare a "national emergency" and use the emergency to cancel the fall elections. I simply do not trust our president nor the people he has named to run HIS government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471227525958744648.post-76282752217380945372010-02-22T11:57:58.995-05:002010-02-22T11:57:58.995-05:00I believe it is Rep.

Even then, I think it was just 20% or so! Imagine having to fight to only subsidize something 80%! And, the Comprehensive Transportation Fund (for MASS TRANSIT) gets some of its dollars also from the sales tax on our automobiles,and then the schools are getting most of the rest of the 6% sales tax on gas. Only one or two places in the whole world have mass transit that is not subsidized, and they are in super high density areas like Japan. We just don't have them in Michigan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
