Why is Gasoline so Cheap?

You might have to do the same thing California did - we passed Proposition 42 in 2002 that said all state fuel taxes go only to transportation and road maintenance, Period. The fuel taxes used to be a 'piggy bank' they could raid for funding everything BUT roads, and the conditions show it - some counties have only 10% of roads in 'good' shape, and a big chunk of the little secondary side streets and rural areas are passable but need a total rebuild because they haven't been touched in decades.

They're starting to catch up, but it's a HUMONGOUS job.

On the other hand, you may have to pay several times more to take trains without subsidizing. Whatever goes around comes around.

I know where he lives, I live fairly close. It is a democracy in name only.

They even developed "Care in the community". That is a nice system where those with non dangerous (even if only when controlled by drugs) mental conditions are thrown out of long term care hospitals, with a bad of pills and sent home, they get, if they are lucky, a once a week visit from a social worker. That is to make sure they are taking their daily meds.

In a lot of cases, because they weren't being checked daily, they stop taking, and they slip into a mess (not their fault). Those who can basically cope turn into the pissing puking smelling shouting drunk on the train. Those that can't, wander off from their homes, get lost confused, become homeless, then the system isn't allowed to help them, and they just bother people until they die.

You want to puish them because they live in a free society and have made a different buying decision than you, right?
