Those shitty South Carolina roads will turn any vehicle into a piece of shit in short order. God how I used to dread that 200 miles of I-95 I had to endure when my son was stationed at Ft. Bragg. I thank the God I don't believe in that Ft. Campbell is now a straight shot up I-65 and I-24.

It is so bad we can now file a repair claim with the State to be reimbursed if vehicles damaged by ill-maintained roads.

Gov. Haley sent 2 proposals to State House and Senate - there is an unearmarked 400 million dollar surplus - use it to fix the roads - or -

Gas tax hike at the pump.

Either fine with me - they are still f*&king arguing about it. Reminds me of here.

Actually it is your fault...if your Governor and legislature cannot fix a major infrastructure problem then why are you guys putting up with that by electing them.

I don't have the Vulcan mind control to wield at will over the entire citizenry like I used to - must be getting old.

Well you get what you mind meld for.

California is a good example of the electorate rewarding a Governor that gets stuff done.

We gave California back to Mexico yesterday - I guess you were out. Everything should be fine.

I like Jerry Brown. He is thrifty.

And because of his financial management, California now has a record amount earmarked for education next year.

Must've been that Soldier of God training he received in seminary school.

Freakin' tight assed Jesuits, always the smartest guys in the room.

Mehico did not want the pillaging, raping, murdering illegal Mexicans back. So they spurned Trump's offer.
