Can you be more specific here?

You have to pay licensing fees and get permits. Which ones of those are from the federal government? Which ones of these fees are set by the White House or for that matter Congress? I pay a few licensing fees, those are state and county, and also got hit with a new permit requirement but that was a city thing.

And you do understand that Romney is increasing federal revenue by adding onto licensing fees and cutting services, right? If you bitch about your freeways now, just imagine what happens when all federal money dries up so we can give our military trillions it is not asking for.
