Fox Cities Progressive: Our Roads and Bridges are the Responsibility of Our State Community

http://foxcitiesprogressive.blogspot.com/2015/06/our-roads-and-bridges-are.html

Friday, June 5, 2015. Our Roads and Bridges are the Responsibility of Our State Community. Our Legislators Don’t Understand the Role of Our State Government. All of Us Benefit and All of Us Should Pay. As a community we all benefit from our roads and bridges, and so it is only fair that we should pay for them as a community through our taxes. We have done so for many years through the gas tax. The Tax Burden Should be Apportioned Fairly. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Jake's Economic Fun House.

Friday, September 12, 2014. We Should Be Careful What We Do About ISIS. We Already Have Too Many Useless Deaths. We should be very careful in deciding what to do about ISIS. The murder of two Americans in Syria is appalling, but in responding to it, we should be careful not to cause the useless deaths of thousands more Americans.

Tuesday, December 9, 2014. Social Security, Student Loans and the Paradox of Thrift. A Contradiction at the Heart of Our Economy.
