A lot of people got on the Trump train because they wanted to tear apart the administrative state; hence, “clearing out the swamp.”

I think the left’s end game, though, is a near-term dependence state. You can see this in something as benign as transportation. Does WSDOT hate mobility as well as cars? But, if so, what do they embrace? They love trains and self-driving cars. Why?

Seattle is not alone in being engineered. The twin cities in Minnesota are on a similar path. A new study from that region says that the exact things the Minnesota Department of Transportation knows will stop congestion is exactly what they choose not to do.

I think they are trying to create a problem and then provide the solution. Just like what is happening with Obamacare. The solution with Obamacare is single payer. And that is the height of dependency.

The left even have a new phrase, “spatial injustice.” They want you in the city and they want control.

Our future is set out for us unless we say no. Say no to the tolls, say no to being confiscated and stolen from.

When we give in to their incremental steps, the left say “look, we can go even further.”

We’re being groomed for dependency.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
