I automatically vote NO on all ballot measures. In VA they are all bond/borrowing/spending issues, never anything about social policy. Still, just about all of them pass here. I see these eye-popping numbers like $200 million for a new county library and I wonder what the hell is wrong with the current one. And when did I last step foot in one anyway? Probably in college, though I read much more than the average person. The only good thing I see in deficit spending is that it doesn't produce a surplus, which the pols would surely piss away even faster than they do borrowed bond money.
