When governments turn on their people

for a year now, the Hawai'i state governement has been bitching about the enormous price of gas here, I can only assume to get back the good graces of the people that live here. Well it's worked. No one's disputing that the shit is well beyond insane. Yet they have done nothing to correct it. Well.... okay, that's typical. Hell, they even shot down a bill to put a cap on the shit. Not a wise move.

But now.... the police need a raise. And no one is arguing that either. They deserve everything they get. However, there's no money that can be pulled from anywhere to make this happen, so what did they do? They're talking about raising the fucking gas taxes to pay for these raises.

And that went over like a dead fucking body. It seems the entire state is turning against its own government now. And rightfully so. This fucking bs method of running the state government needs to fucking stop. Promises promises promises.... then fuckin' ram it in when we're bent over the other way trying to pick up a penny.
