Then add another $250 million to that total in the 2015-17 budget, so that means the Transportation Fund has actually taken $550 million from the General Fund since 2003. <br /><br /> You see, while Doyle was "raiding" the Transportation Fund to plug current-year General Fund holes without raising taxes (and it wasn't plural "billions", it was just over $1.4), those budgets from 2003-2011 were also borrowing over $1 billion from the General Fund to pay for Transportation Fund projects, so the "loss" to the Transportation Fund was only around $375 million. <br /><br /> Since the Age of Fitzwalkerstan began, $450 million in cash has been sent directly from the General Fund to Transportation (money which could have been used to avoid cuts for schools or local communities),and then add another $490 million in borrowing that future budgets will have to pay off. <br /><br /> Look, I understand Bagger trash like you think that math and independent facts are a liberal plot. But for once in your life, could you turn off the Sykes, stop being a weak-minded dope, and deal with reality as it exists?

Walk...Speaking of fantasies- this Zombie Lie again? Walker has moved more money out of the General Fund and into the DOT than Doyle ever moved out. Abd he added another $250 million in this budget, including $175 of General Fund borrowing.<br /><br /> I'll give you the complete numbers after dinner, but no wonder you went Anonymous with such a pathetic take.
