    I guessed it right. I won't say what it was so everyone else can read and not believe their eyes when they see just how high it went.

        So, they prove without doubt that they can't handle money.

        Then they tax the people to get more of it.

        Their track record indicates that this won't solve their problem. In fact they admit that it won't because the simple math is. You have a 6.5 billion shortfall and - 360 million per year. You cant cover that with 474 million.

        Just amortize the 6.5 billion over 20 years and it nearly equals the tax gain all by itself.

        This is lunacy at it's apex.

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
