The comment on toll costs "have not risen in decades" is completely false.

Is this O'Malley's error or yours? O'Malley can be excused because he couldn't find the truth if it was smacking him in the face.

The Tunnel tolls were $1 dollar each way within the last 10/15 years. The bridge in Cecil county recently increased it's fee.
Come on!!

In response to a caller who said the state is being inundated with illegal immigrants, O'Malley said: "I'm not aware of illegal immigrants coming into our state in droves."

Captain Tax and Spend is deaf dumb and blind.
Incomes are stagnant
medical insurance costs are through the roof and this idiot drains the Transportation Fund and now we Marylanders once again have to foot the bill for his fiscal incompetence.
On top of it offering in state tuition to illegal immigrants will just encourage more illegals to come to Maryland, straining our tax dollars even more.
Marty, I am broke there is nothing left to give.

In response to a caller who said the state is being inundated with illegal immigrants, O'Malley said: "I'm not aware of illegal immigrants coming into our state in droves."

He's right. They've already come in droves.

* Illegal immigration

From da WaPo:

"The census shows Maryland’s population grew by about 477,000 between 2000 and 2010. More than half of the state’s population growth resulted from increases in the Hispanic population."

MOM needs to get out more often.

In response to a caller who said the state is being inundated with illegal immigrants, O'Malley said: "I'm not aware of illegal immigrants coming into our state in droves."

He's right. Illegal immigrants have already come to our state in droves.

This gutless fraud never takes the lead on anything. He lets others do his dirty work, see Miller and Busch. In this case he'll come before the camera with his lower lip turned down explaining how the evil Republicans have made him raise the gas tax. It's always somebody else's fault, never his.This empty suit "pretty boy" will say or do anything to meet his political objective.

Why can't the liberal Democrats catch on to the just stop spending concept.

Listen to any of Marty's speeches. He never gives specifics and always points the finger of blame at others. He should turn his back to the microphone and his lies could be heard a heck of a lot clearer. He is the most accomplished talk through his A55 speaker I ever heard.

A "balanced" approach including "revenues."

LMAO. O'Malley should disconnect his mouth from Obama's joint.

Yes We Can raise taxes, increase black unemployment, encourage illegal immigration and cover up criminial activity at MD DHR!

Perhaps our Govenor needs to talk about cutting spending not increasing taxes. We could save millions by going to a unicameral legislature. Eliminating the house of representatives salaries and pensions is a gift that keeps on giving. The legislature is a rubber stamp anyway why do we need to pay for two houses to represent us.

There are three ways to cut spending and avoid tax hikes(for a long time)

Examine education from scratch. No givens. Can new private schools replace inefficient publics, including in alleged successful systems like Baltimore County and Howard? Do not have teacher unions or MSDE staff in evaluation. Have business and outside ed experts, including those who criticize US Dept of Ed and Gates foundation involved. end all state aid to "state colleges" within five yrs. Let the schools sink or swim on same terms as privates.
tighten medicaid to maximum allowed by current federal law and lobby for even more stringent rules. Compel physicians as condition to maintenance of license to practice in MD to treat indigent or unemployed patients for free. audit these doctors, Include specialists.

Involve state police and county police in enforcement of immigration rules as allowed by current federal law. Cut off all aid to school systems with illegal aliens. If Montgomery or PGC want to educate aliens, fine-do it with own money. Litigate this to US Supreme Ct which may agree states can do this.

ILLEGAL ALIEN TAX RETURN FRAUD. THE WORD IS FINALLY OUT..?

The IRS reported it has issued 10.8 million ITINs (Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers), with a very few being used by celebrities for book signing, foreign investors and whatever other reason? So at the most must leave roughly 10 million illegal aliens as heads of household that have arrived in violation of the law, hired as an infringement of the law, and using ITINs to skirt the law, since the program began in 1976. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration on Thursday released an account, unveiling that the Internal Revenue Service, returned $4.2 billion dollars in refundable tax credits 2010 to illegal aliens. Using IRS ITIN numbers so illegal aliens are paying into the US taxation system, but are collecting in ‘earned income child tax credits,’ most of this money back. An illegal alien cannot qualify for a legitimate Social Security number, to file income tax returns, so they use the ITIN number issued by the IRS.

This questionable program was intended to assuage that tax burden on the lowest American income earners, but in recent years has shown to be rife with fraud. President Obama’s stimulus program included tax cuts for low-income workers. Obama’s intention was, to put cash back into taxpayers’ hands, so they will spread it around to heighten the economy. But thanks to the (EITC) Earned Income Tax Credit, the majority of this “tax relief” will go to individuals who have never paid anything in taxes—NOT A DARN CENT—and have already defrauded prior administrations and today’s government in massive sums each year—to Illegal aliens. .” We the taxpayers are the gullible idiots who pay for their squatting here. The Inspector General said that the IRS should require those claiming the credit to prove that they are actually eligible to work here legally? However, IRS management “claims” that they have no legal power to request any proof with the inspection of individual income tax forms. A copy of the Inspector General's report can be found here:

http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/auditreports/2011reports/201141061fr.pdf

An IRS audit showed that 72 percent of tax returns filed by those using (ITIN) taxpayer identification numbers and not a Social Security numbers claimed the child tax credit. Nearly all ITIN-based returns include W-2 forms that list Social Security numbers, belong to U.S. citizens, IRS data shows. Foreign Nationals use the stolen or fabricated Social Security numbers to gratify the employment necessities of businesses. In violation of the law, the ITIN numbers have also involved in using the IRS number as Identification to open bank accounts and obtain driver’s licenses and to vote.

Illegal aliens as well as Americans are cheating the rest of the taxpayers, with Mothers filing under their Maiden name for perhaps two children, then the Father filing for the same two children as a different tax return under his family name and both receiving child refund tax return dollars. Of course, as always this is just the tip of the iceberg on fraudulent returns.
The federal government is fleeced by sending tax checks to P.O. boxes and addresses in foreign countries.

"Your U.S. Congress participates in and supports one of THE most fraudulent taxpayer abuse schemes ever concocted within the Federal Government. It’s time the administration put its foot down rather than allow millions of unlawful immigrants to step onto American soil—while soaking billions out of the U.S. Treasury.

Since the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) became part of the income tax code in 1975, it has quietly become the largest cash transfer program in the United States. At a cost of more than $44 billion per year, EITC spending dwarfs that of the traditional welfare program—Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)—and food stamps combined. More than 23 million households currently receive the credit.

Edwin Rubenstein exposed one of the most dramatic tax frauds ever on the American taxpayer: “Defrauding the American taxpayer,” Volume 19, Number 3, spring 2009, Social Contract, “The Earned Income Tax Credit and Illegal Immigration - A Study in Fraud, Abuse, and Liberal Activism.”

“More than one in four immigrant households received the EITC in 2000—nearly twice the 13.2 percent rate of house-holds headed by Native Americans. And because immigrant households are larger via higher fertility, their EITC payments are larger than those received by native households.

“Bottom line: Immigrants accounted for about 13 percent of the U.S. population in 2008 but receive an estimated 26 percent of EITC benefits—about $12 billion.”
The most distressing aspect of EITC stems from unlawful immigrants tapping into the program on a massive scale. For example, in Greeley, Colorado this year, district attorney Buck Young raided a tax filing agency to find over 1,000 fraudulent returns by unlawful workers. While they paid little or nothing in taxes, they received hundreds of thousands in bogus returns, costing taxpayers millions of dollars. That same scam multiplies all over the country.

“Tax relief" goes to people who never paid a cent in taxes, and may have already defrauded the government of huge sums each year. "EITC scams are common, well-organized, and massive," Rubenstein writes in the report. EITC ranks second out of 57 government programs in fraudulent payments.

“But enthusiasm for the credit has blinded policy makers to its problems. The EITC program is dominated by fraud. Year after year about one-third of all EITC returns are based on illegal multiple returns, phony Social Security numbers, or claims of non-existent children or spouses. A disproportionate share of illegal alien households receives the benefit.

“For most poor families, the tax credit check is the largest single sum of money they will receive during the year. Most receive it after filing income taxes. But some need the money immediately, and they can get it—for a price. A niche financial sector thrives by lending EITC recipient’s immediate cash in return for a hefty chunk of their credit check. The cost to the poor of these so-called Refund Anticipation Loans (RALs) has been estimated at 6 percent of the entire EITC program.

The EITC is the most illegal-immigrant friendly of poverty programs; illegal immigrants constitute a far larger share of the poverty population now.

Implication: The EITC is a textbook case of unintended consequences. Our economic meltdown may be among them."

There is only one cure for the corruption in federal agencies and that is joining the TEA PARTY. Thousands of fraudulent programs will be exposed and billions of dollars will be saved. This confronts the rot that has entered the Democratic and the Republican parties, and the astronomical deficit that America is suffering from. Read some unrevealed evidence at Judicial Watch, that is a legal non-profit, being There the opposite to the Communist backed ACLU; a panderer to the illegal alien invaders. In addition, NumbersUSA gives you in depth analysis of costs to taxpayers and insider news from Congress. Lastly, the controversial website of “American Patrol” gives you one-click Bridging editions to the nationwide media, where the truth prevails. It is no wonder that millions of illegal aliens can send $46 billion dollars a year to families, via foreign banks?

1. Remember illegal aliens do vote in federal elections, and we all need to contact our politicians, to either issue an official to scrutinize voter rolls, or specifically absentee ballots.
2. ISSUE a mandatory federal ID card, for all Americans.
3. Make illegal entry punishable as a felony, not a civil offense.
4. Build the real 2006 Double border Fence.
5. The TEA PARTY will not tolerate illegal immigration or any form of amnesty, including Sanctuary cities, dream acts or covert enactments by disguising Immigration Reform.
6. The TEA PARTY will support Arizona, Alabama, Georgia and other states against any retribution by the Democratic or Republican establishment.
