#1 Tax and spend still is the way for most democrats.
In Maryland tax on fuel suggested. Toll roads will see increases. One dollar a pack increase on smokes.
They will never learn. Regressive liberals rule the day and will reap the pain.

#2 Smokers will know where every Indian Reservation Smoke Shop is at. Folks will avoid the Toll roads if at all possible and the cost of fuel will kill the local economy as the blue collar (most of us) people go into "can't afford it" mode.

#3 tipover Hi!; Yep that's what I have done "can't afford it" mode. I don't smoke but dislike the tax attack on smokers. The drawback will have a ripple effect. You have mentioned it but many are doing it.
Revenue will continue to shrink. Allot of people can't pay their bills now. The state is in trouble now. They can't print money like the Federal Government.

#4 Medicaid growing by leaps and bounds

And despite that, Doc, it still provides mediocre (at best) medical service to most of the poor. (But that's still a lot better than the near-poor can afford.)

#5 "Expanding state spending" > iff Honolulu is $$$ expansion-happy now, wait until 2030 or espec 2036 when COMET APOPHIS impacts close enough to be considered a direct hit.
