RINOs for T-SPLOST

The federal government is spending an extra trillion a year on global warming mitigation, but there is no global warming; there is now global cooling. So, carbon is the atmosphere warming the planet is probably a god thing for the next 40 years. So, why isn’t the federal government slowly retreating from their carbon war ? They are doing the head in the sand version of perpetuating the BIG LIE.

Our Socialist Federal Officials are dutifully continuing to implement U.N. Agenda 21 in the U.S. by sending out the EPA to seize your land by declaring it a “wetland” or shutting down your business because of some endangered species Commerce and Interior are slowing down drilling permits to ensure rising gasoline prices and Transportation is bribing State and Local Officials with federal grants, packed with unnecessary carbon reduction schemes, that include huge T-SPLOST tax increases on YOU.

Cartel Business Model.

The global warming scam is built on the drug cartel business model. The federal government is the drug dealer and Republican Governors are the users. Billions in federal grants to “go green” have been pouring out of D.C. for the past 4 years. Republican Governors like Sonny Perdue and Bad Deal cannot resist federal dollars, particularly when the music could stop in 2013. The rationale is that they need to grab all the money they can, while they can. If they don’t, the other States will get it.

The problem is that we Georgia taxpayers in the 10 county ARC Region will get stuck with a bill for $6.14 billion in taxes for misspent “transportation” projects over the next 10 years. The other problem is that “regular folks” don’t know how destructive T-SPLOST is.

Georgia Fumble

The real problem is that obstructionists like the EPA have used their “clean air act” to halt all road construction in Georgia for 30 years. State and local politicians didn’t fight this and here we are. Now that Obama wants to build “transit villages” to comply with Agenda 21, we are showered with printed and borrowed federal grant dollars. If adding lanes won’t help, why did all other cities add lanes and why don’t they have our congestion problems ?

Atlanta Solutions

We need a grid, not a circle. Our best cities have a highway grid. We would have one if we built another highway across the city to connect the top sections of I-285. This would be the I-20 of the northern half of the I-285 circle. The other thing we need is to extend U.S. 29 to connect with I-85 and I-75 south of Atlanta and offer it as an Atlanta Bypass. We need to get rid of all toll roads, HOV and HOT lanes and return these to general use. The GDOT should be tasked to do this; they should drop all other projects and let the counties and cities fix their own roads.

while we need to extend some freeways, make some new one's and widden some lanes, and that with a along with a reliable, and accessible transit system for the whole metro area will decrease congestion, increase buisness and population, while also improving our environment and quality of life. Look at the most succesful world class cities. something they all have in common is good public transit. transit is important and that with a healthy balance of roadway projects will get us to true world class status. Also these transit villages you talk about, they're the future. They're sustainable communities centered around transit that will help reverse the phenomenon of sprawl that caused our huge congestion mess. Think about the future… c'mon
