NC Turnpike Authority
Oh, this is just great. This story REALLY illustrates how utterly out of control and out of touch with reality the Democrat-led North Carolina General Assembly really is.
You see, the Democrats recently created a "turnpike authority" to
take money from working people build toll roads. Why? Because the Democrats in the General Assembly have been completely and utterly irresponsible regarding road building in North Carolina and they're now billions of dollars behind. So instead of doing something responsible, like using tax money raised for roads to actually build roads, the Democrats instead created a new government agency to build roads -- and they didn't fund it.
So now we have to pay dozens of new bureaucrats with money we don't have to build roads with money they don't have. Meanwhile, Democrats continue to waste money on their own pet projects, and continue to take gas taxes and use them for, well, whatever they feel like.
Even worse, since the new government bureaucracy doesn't have any money because the legislature didn't give them any, they're trying to borrow money! Yes, because the Democrats are irresponsible in spending and don't want to reduce their personal pet projects to build roads (one of the few things government SHOULD do), they simply created MORE bureaucracy so they could BORROW the money!
This really is the height of total reckless and irresponsible spending. These Democrats should be fired. These people are morally bankrupt and cannot be trusted with $10 of our money, much less $20 billion. But they won't be because they get to make the rules. They simple cannot be fired because they draw the districts. Go ahead, try and convince me we are free to vote for anyone we want.
No, Democrats in North Carolina are horrible. They are completely and totally fiscally irresponsible. And they can continue to be because they maintain their hold on power, even if they have to cheat and break the law to do it.
