    Genuine question, where does this money go? Nothing is improving. People are still in a lot of college debt, college fees are not getting any cheaper, kids still aren’t getting free meals in schools, roads still look like shit all over the country, transportation is still absolute garbage, and don’t get me started on our healthcare system. Again, where does that money go? I really would love to know, not trying to argue, I just want to know.

      This is such an obviously untrue statement. Come on. Nothing is improving? I’m sure that it varies wildly by state and who’s running the state, but in my state it seems like there’s constantly roads, highways, bridges, etc being repaved, rebuilt, rerouted, or otherwise improved in some way. I’ve seen a few new schools pop up in my town and they’ve been working on renovating some of the older ones.

      Student loans, school lunches, public transportation, and healthcare are outside the scope of the original post that I was addressing.
