Thanks for Nothing

Holy cow! I have just learned, via the Brainerd Disgrace, that we should be thanking our DFL legislators (along with the Republican rogues who voted with them) for their courage in passing the Gas Tax!
Pardon me if I don't dash out to buy "thank you" cards.

Let me see:
Thank you for making it more difficult each day to keep up with the cost of living the Minnesota Good Life?
Thank you for completely ignoring ANY other solution to the problem?
Thank you for wasting the money on social projects that was supposed to have gone to infrastructure maintenance all along?
Thank you for pouring billions into light rail which we now have to bailout, and for building more light rail, to be bailed out at a later date, with more tax increases?
Thank you for spending more instead of trimming somewhere else in the budget?
Thank you for making us among the highest taxed states in the nation?

If you love social re-engineering, then thank them. If you like someone telling you what you can and cannot do with your personal life, thank them. If you think a few thousand riding light rail will in ANY way improve your life, thank them.

You know, I just don't think I will send any thank you notes to these people.

I only hope that when you are driving to the polls in November on roads that are still bumpy and pot hole- filled, and still crossing unsafe bridges, you will REMEMBER just who tricked you into thinking they were going to do anything about the problem.
And just who has been squandering your money and your trust so dangerously for so long.
Tell the liberals "THANKS FOR NOTHING."
