Remember When in Maryland:
Remember when the lottery was sold to us, it was to improve education?
Remember when the Road Tax (Highway user fund) was to maintain our roads
Remember when the waterway improvement fund was to maintain our local waterways?
Ahhh they were the good old days

Remember when cable TV was introduced? Cable companies said 'If you pay for your TV service, we won't need to collect from advertisers. Wow! Commercial free television.' How long did that last? A few years later we pay the cable companies to show us commercials.
Remember when they collected social security money from our checks every week to invest for us because we were too stupid to save it ourselves? That way, we would have a lot of money by the time we retired. Retirement's getting closer every day. Where's my money you invested for me?

As for the OP, I have given up being surprised by people who believe politicians. I just add them to the list of people I don't pay attention to.

Remember when the constitution meant something.
Like when you read the words, the right to keep and bear arms, meant what it said.
When property rights meant your farm was your farm and not "our farm."
