WA State - Dem's Propose Budget

[read the Olympian article here]
The state budget has been released by the Dems up on the hill, and you guessed it, doom and gloom with the need for a TAX INCREASE.
While families all over the state are cutting back, your state government wants to increase their total spending. The state budget proposed will spend more money in the next two years than the last two. How many of you are able to spend more now? I bet you are really finding ways to cut back. Government needs to do the same.
The budget comes with the same tired scare techniques. The legislators are warning that they will have to cut funding from public schools, higher education, health care, elder care and disabled, corrections, the environment, and they will even have to scrap two planes owned by the WA State Patrol.
And this is what government is doing, so it is only fair that we increase your car tabs by $5.00.
I have a terrible memory, but I remember when the people of WA told the state that we were tired of being taxed on car tabs and reduced the fee to $30.00. And remember all the doomsday talk at the time? Legislators warned us that police, fire, education would all be non-existent. Guess what? We survived.
I would like to see government do their best impression of Lehman Brothers. Put all of your belongings in a box and go look for another job, please. The people of Washington state will get along just fine without you. We don't need a nanny, and if we did we wouldn't hire you.
