Escape From New York

[Walt]

toll roads are dedicated high speed roads.

Can you really call it a "high speed" road when you are forced to stop for tolls?

It is a lousy way to collect money. Imagine if every time you got a paycheck, an IRS agent would stop you on the way out of work, and require you to pay your taxes then and there. Imagine how much time and money that would waste for both you, and the IRS.

It is just wasteful to stop cars to collect money, over half the money collected goes to pay for the tolls themselves.

US Economic Growth

I just don't see the "big growth" you are claiming trump has been having. In fact, according to your own data, Obama had 6 quarters (a year and a half total) of higher growth than anything trump ever had. trump wasted a lot of money promising us 6, 7, 8, or even 10% growth... he delivered more of the Obama moderate growth, but with some extremely terrible underlying defects.

transponders. turistas can prepay with rental cars. Due to corona the actual toll takers have been suspended and liscense plates photos are now billed

Traffic moves fast and is not bogged down with tolls.

Obama and Trump both have high deficits -Congress is largely responsible for both
Obama had some nasty neg. years, Trump were all positive -steady GDP growth.
WAges grew for lower incomes under Trump,while Obama wage increases were nmore skewed to higher incomes

Trump were all positive -steady GDP growth.

trump was all positive, moderate growth, until is was not positive, moderate growth, but was instead one of the worst collapses we have seen in almost a hundred years.

Obama and Trump both have high deficits

Throw in Bush who had a high deficit too. Obama and Bush had high deficits because we were in a severe recession, and we needed to get out of it. After we got out, Obama started reducing the deficit quickly.

trump increased the deficit during a time of moderate growth. he wanted better growth, but he only delivered more moderate growth, along with fundamental issues with the economy.

MOTORISTS -not residents are subject -and it's not all roads it's usually high speed toll roads.

So by her "logic" NO FLORIDIAN DRIVES A CAR OR USES A ROAD THAT HITS THE TOLLS SHE MENTIONS (or in numbers worth mentioning). Then she repeats her idiocy about tourists paying the majority of tolls as an "offset". I mean really, is there an option in the state tax the checks of "non-tourist toll payer" that gives a refund? A death defying display of insipid stubbornness and stupidity by Anatta...bless her lil' ol' heart.

And now the topper....another grudge holding Confederate clown who mouths off generalities as if they're bonafide fact. So Anatta is having a case of the vapors because New Yorkers RETIRE to Florida (as if NYer's are the only ones that do), and then they (gasp!) vote for Democrats. So according to this icon of Southern sanctity, ALL relocated New Yorkers are stupid Democrats. No proof, just her supposition and conjecture.

Riddle me this sweetpea,,,,how's damn near 30 years of reaganomics working out for the country? I guess all the Job Creators relocated to Florida.
Carry on, Scarlett!

hysterical garbage. you can't follow the simplist of logic and say stuff that I didn;t say

about tourists paying the majority of tolls

never said that either

So according to this icon of Southern sanctity, ALL relocated New Yorkers are stupid Democrats. No proof, just her supposition and conjecture.

false. and I never claimed this -buta majority of NY's that move here are Dems

You can't lie or BS your way out of this in a printed medium, darl'in. When you stated "motorists" do you think that no Floridians drive? Let me dumb it down for you.....IF YOU DRIVE A CAR INTERSTATE IN FLORIDA, YOU ARE LIKELY TO HIT A TOLL(S) THAT DO NOT EXIST IN NEW YORK. Got that sweetpea? No exemptions. If you can prove otherwise, do.

That was the whole point of my initial post regarding this. Now if the tourists out number the locals on the roads, then they contribute more, NOT TOTAL, to the state coffers.

Got it now, honey lamb? I hope so, because I tire trying to educate the willfully ignorant and insipidly stubborn. Carry on.

[Taichiliberal]

Yeah, genius....it's the trend started under Obama in his last term...a struggle against an obstructionist GOP majority congress and the leftover near depression from 8 years of the Shurb's reaganomics on steroids. Geez, think it through!

You can't lie or BS your way out of this in a printed medium, darl'in. Here's what you posted:

I sincerely hope any job you have doesn't require reading. you are obviously too stupid to make a decent post, read what I write -and on top of those 2 failures call me a liar/bullshitter.

less insults and more comprehension on your part is needed

The South stinks, a bunch of Scottish blooded derelicts, drunks, and meth heads, no thanks.

Move to the west !!!
You won’t find a Jew for miles and very few blacks

Midwest is so much poverty and filth
Horrible weather too

South has millions of Irish trash !!
Irish are the lowest types of whites in the USA

So Republicans who claim to be conservative are anything but. We already knew that. As for the part about Trump boosting lower incomes as opposed to Obama, you made that up. It's false.

Obama had nasty years? LOL, no he didn't. After his first year, he did not have a year with negative growth. His highest year was 2.9 his lowest was 1.6. Hey, why don't you spend the afternoon making up some more economic bullshit? That should keep you busy.

She's just stubborn to the point of insipidness on this. She can't logically defend her statement, and just babbles like a parrot.
