The NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) just made a discovery! They just discovered that big, heavy trucks damage paved road surfaces! Wow! Someone call the press! Oh, I guess they already did...

There's no word on how much money the NCDOT spend on this exhaustive study. And of course, being a government agency, their next suggested step is obvious: fine working people to get more money to fix the roads.

Oh, but want to see a real interesting number? This "report" claims that these trucks do approximately $77 million a year in damages to roads. And yet the Democrat-controlled North Carolina legislature votes each and every year to take tens of millions of dollars OUT of the fund that repairs roads!

In other words, we already had the money to fix all these roads -- it was already collected in taxes -- but the NC Legislature stole the money to NOT spend it on the roads. Democrats in North Carolina are directly responsible for the crappy road conditions -- NOT the trucks!
