With lower gas prices we drive more and more trucks/SUV's are being sold but that is bad...ie climate change. With prices where they are at and how much oil and natural gas we have there should not be such a buzzkill for vehicles the EPA and climate fools put forth.
We are always told we are not paying our fair share. The R's caved and allowed taxes to go up for the "rich". Record revenues coming into the Fed and they still keep spending more than they take in. It is never revenue it is spending. Federally and States have gradually shifted spending from infrastructure spending to income redistribution. Less money for roads, bridges, education and always fighting the 800lb gorilla in the room, Medicaid at the state level, Medicare and SS at the federal level.
Here in CO we see the knots they have tied ourselves into where they raise taxes outside of TABOR then can't spend all the money and do not want to return it and have a fiscal responsible budget.
Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a real problem.

What's the difference between a politician and a drunken sailor?
The drunken sailor stops spending money when he runs out...
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
As for the weed money, it's earmarked for education. So instead they reduce the general fund contribution to education by the amount of the weed tax and get to spend it on anything, while still claiming all the weed money went to education. Neat racket, huh?

Yah, I like that racket too, buncha con artists ought to be in jail or hanging from lampposts.
Education = Teachers' Unions
Teachers' Unions = Democrat Party
Weed money goes directly into the coffers of the Colorado Democrat Party. This (and the fact that legal weed attracts more idiot Democrats moving here) is why I opposed 64 even though on principal I support legalization.

Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

The weed tax only goes to school construction projects.
And he is the governor.
I'm still trying to figure out who the "Mayor of Colorado" is?
