+1 nicely stated KirkW!

License and tax bicycles that choose to use our public streets. Cyclists already pay taxes to use the streets - as homeowners or auto-drivers.

Eliminate free tuition for WA State employees at all four year colleges/universities. They should pay their own way--just like everyone else. Eliminate the Running Start program. Eliminate the GET program--immediately. There you go! Interesting what gets cut first (things the state should be paying for - a legitimate role of gov't is to manage public lands) and what never gets cut (perks for themselves).

Who is funding all those retarded roundabouts where they are not needed?

My "hobby"? What a crock of BS! My real estate taxes pay for city parks, and they are nice. They don't get user fees, they don't get closed/limited access/whatever. Likewise my taxes to the state of WA should pay for state parks - no cuts and fees, etc. Period. Hey, let's start taxing use of Green Lake! $5 to park within 5 blocks of the park. How well would that go over, Matt?

Well, I think the extra five bucks we've all been paying on each of our vehicle registration renewals the past few years was/is a good program--as are the volunteer efforts of groups like WTA and other organizations. It does seem like this new 'Discover Pass' program is a slap in the face to those who have already put demonstrated a willingness to pay or participate--or both. "Let no good deed go unpunished" seems to be the state motto in this case. This is all a scheme to fund other stuff. What is the guarantee that these use permits actually go to funding the parks? Maybe our legislators should take a pay cut and reduce their staff and expenditures. Yeah, right.

We already pay taxes. Fund the parks first.

It's simple Matt. Taxes should fund this kind of stuff way high up on the list. It should be one of the last things that gets cut.

Umm, yeah, that's what all conservatives believe.

Old school: ripping on 'boner! Way to go Rob!

please, no more pics of TTK in a thong!

Wrong, dipshit. I caught your reference to the stupid movie and opted to simply respond in a different manner than you wanted. BTW, do you wash down your bear claws with white russians or just your meds?

Self-realization is a great thing. Keep working on it - you're making great progress.

Yes

I need a caffeine IV drip.

Coupled with the D's congress refusal to cut their programs during said buildup. Since then... military cuts big time in the wake of the fall of the Communist block, bases closed, taxes raised twice (read my lips + Bubba), then more spending under W and 2 wars, W on anything under the sun, and B-HO on all the latter and more. But let's keep it simple and just say "Reagan". Umm yeah. And let's not forget the "War on Poverty" (how's that coming along, btw?), and Vietnam.

Like at Vantage, where you had to pay for a parking permit but there was no outhouse that was serviced? Or TH's that have no outhouse? Or one that is not stocked with TP? This scam has been going on a lot longer than the current budget "crisis". It's all a shell game where things go unfunded that the legislature can get away with unfunding so they can nickle and dime with fees.

Umm, yeah, that's a productive response.

Exactly. Not only do we pay fees, but don't get shit for them. Trail maintenance work is done by volunteers.

From U.S. Senator Bernie Sander's web site: March 27, 2011 Sanders Calls for Shared Sacrifice ... I see the numbers but how is this shit possible? It mentions loopholes but what are the specifics? Time for those in charge to grow some balls and do something about it.

I read that they were using trench-latrines. This is probably what she looks like while taking a huge crap. I'd drink a cup of her bath-water

53 is the new 93?

Kochtopoly goon!

That's the hottest hippy I've ever seen. Do you think she umm, smells like a hippy, you know, down there? Cuz that's a dealbreaker. +1
