@washingtonpost Fare evasion can be avoided if police are at the entry/exit point ready to arrest. Allowing fare evasiors into the system is causes crime increases.
This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Threaten privatization or cuts for Social Security and Medicare.
4) Repeat.
Don't let them get away with it.
