You remember the joke, right? How do you know a politician is lying? Their lips are moving. We have become so accustomed to the lying, we assume they are always lying. . . yet, we believe them. It's a weird, sort of Twilight Zone, kind of thing.
They lie. But, we believe them.
In California, we are on the verge of going from the fourth highest gas taxes in the country to the highest. We are being told it's for road repairs, and other infrastructure projects. They told us that about other taxes, but it was always a lie. They told us the currently second highest gas taxes in the county were for making sure our infrastructure was taken care of. But, we have crumbling bridges, a mess of potholes, and a crumbling dam in Oroville.
