The culture of power is the culture of corruption. Every single politician out there, is bent to some degree, you can't win elections without money and you can't get money without selling your support for the donors issues. There is no clean politician out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mean as Cruz has been, I guess Kasich didn't want to be the only other one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have to give real answers and could not get away with repeating "fraud, waste and abuse" 100 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can ballance the budget just by getting rid of programs that don't work and stop the fraud..... The latest one was named "Back in Black" Trump could take that one book and become a hero, it's that simple. https://www.novoco.com/hottopics/resource_files/back-in-black_coburn_071811.pdf in case you might want to look it over...

No its not a conspiracy or right wing site lol. He wants to put something on cars so that you get charged per mile. To make up for so called lost revenue to repair roads. While repairing roads sounds like a great idea, we already have a tax on gas for that. And it penalizes some poor folks like the navajos on the rez who must travel 90 miles (as I did) just to get to a bank. Or anyone who lives out west and travels greater distances than eastern folks.
