The Raw/Drift Perspective-Who Wins?

Posted by bwana on July 16, 2008

Yesterday I read Marc Fisher’s opinion column “Raw Fischer” that Virginia transportation problems should be blamed on the GOP for not blindly following the Democrats in raising taxes.

But the boys at Bearing Drift suggest in their podcast that since the House of Delegates passed a GOP sponsored plan that did not raise taxes, and said plan was shot down by the Democratic Senate, that the Democrats will be blamed.

It will be interesting to see who really ends up winning in all this.

Meanwhile, TheGov tosses in his plan to seemingly tax everything but gasoline and has it tossed back at him by both houses. I guess that while we cannot yet identify the winners, we can start to identify the losers.
