@dancingtongue "For anyone needing it, Florida gas now selling at $1.82 per gallon"

April 20, 2020

@sunsporter1649 Was $4.06 April, 2020, in San Francisco Bay Area

@dancingtongue Only in California.

@dancingtongue In Illinois. 2.00-236 for 4 years. As soon as Biden is elected It started up. Now 3.85. Not to mention home heating up 50%

@drtt943 Thank you for stating the truth.

@nudistsueaz Yep. We subsidize other state's economies through more than just our negative cash flow on Federal taxes.

@dancingtongue

@dancingtongue Tell me about your positive State tax flow?

@nudistsueaz We pay far more in Federal taxes than what we get back in Federal services -- as do most Blue states -- with the money going to subsidize Red states that pride themselves on not taxing themselves to provide services they take for granted. As for State taxes, our surplus this fiscal year is projected to be so large as to trigger a constitutional requirement to spend it or return it to the taxpayers. Trumpists may make cartoons and jokes about our high tax and regulatory climate, but by investing in our state we grow the 6th largest economy in the world -- if we shed the other 49 states.

@dancingtongue Even if true yippy skippy. You have a 13% state tax and $40 million people you damn well better have a surplus. And give it back too.

That's about as boastworthy as bragging you have a cost of living surplus because you are in prison.

$1.95 May 27, 2020. Maryland.

Not a dirt cheap state by any means

@dancingtongue But your in the Red and have been for over 20 years.

@nudistsueaz Because we invest in infrastructure through bond measures, just like the average American invests in homes through mortgages, and corporations invest in production capabilities through stock and bond offerings. You spread the cost over years so it is more manageable. And the budgets aren't in the red, because they are covering the repayments.

@dancingtongue LOL....not buying that at all.

@nudistsueaz Believe what you want. But that is the reality of how economies work, even for governments.

@dancingtongue Is that why you have brownouts and blackouts every summer? Who's their investment counselor, Homer Simpson.

Keep paying. More, more, more

@Slade Blackouts primarily are precautions against wildfires during windy high risk days during our severe drought days, which seems a more realistic approach than going after those Jewish Space Lasers. Brownouts are on extreme high heat days to keep the grid from crashing all together. The utility companies are private corporations, although subject to Public Utilities Commission regulations. And one recently committed to putting its high voltage lines underground at significant cost to eliminate the wildfire risk all together.

@dancingtongue

Do you get GI (government issued) pom-poms, knee pads and ball gags too?

@Slade Ran out of facts to support your arguments I see. I enjoy constructive discussions. Will go see if I can find one.

@Slade Makes one wonder what is in their government issued crack pipes, does it not?

@sunsporter1649 And yet another demonstrates he has no facts to support the topic being discussed. Nor understands the topic he is trying to divert to was a red herring from the beginning.
