Governments all over the country have been robbing Peter to pay Paul, shifting money to immediate needs like health care and child welfare and hoping against hope that the roads and bridges and buildings built during the new deal era held up. "No New Taxes" has been the rallying cry for decades now, but nobody ever said how we were supposed to pay for the things we all take for granted. And, of course, when things like this happen, the wingers blame the government and everyone decries taxes even more. I have to wonder if any Republicans were on that bridge last night. If there were, they must have realized that sometimes we really are all in it together. http://tinyurl.com/yp4ryc
