Everything has gone up, fees, fines.
States and counties not collecting enough business tax and home assessments have gone down.
Most people under-employed, nobody getting raises as the price of everything skyrockets.
F'n media scaring consumers into not buying anything unless they absolutely need it, causing businesses to go under or lay people off. Of course this has been going on since the dot com bubble burst which folded in nicely with the wars and the mortgage crisis.
Problem is, nobody knows how long it's going to take to fix this ****. The man in the big chair has nothing to do with it. When consumers start buying **** again, people will be back to work.
Then state and county fees may start to come down again.

The Problem is the Rich just want to be richer and the Gov in them them for the long haul. They Tax and Fee us to death and give every Break possible to those that can really afford it.
If you want to fix it then give the money back to the middle class, We know what to do with it and that's spend it not hoard it. This is how you create jobs and add to the tax coffers .

"Then state and county fees may start to come down again."
Never happen!
THE NYS Thruway is a classic example, it was supposed to be made into a non-toll road in 1996 once the Bonds to build it were paid off (They started building it in the early 50's.) In order to justify continuing the tolls they kept adding "cost of repair and maintenance" and added the maintenance and improvement of the canal system to it's cost burden, and voila! the tolls not only remain but ratchet up nicely on a constant basis.
Once the Powers that be gain a source of revenue it never goes away, they just incrementally increase.
