as they try to sell off our infrastructure to their rich donors, even foreign ones, who will then pocket the tolls from the roads, bridges and tunnels that we all will have to use everyday and can't avoid.

Instead of trickle down, it'll be trickle up from our pockets literally to theirs.

It will be a dystopian hell with us getting poorer by the day after coughing up tolls we previously haven't had to pay.

And remember, they will raise the tolls every couple of years too.

That's one reason why my wife and I left New York in 2006. The tolls to cross most major bridges then was $5.50.

It's now $8.50—and that's one way.

This is what we're facing if these crooks/traitors/sell out repugs get their way.
