The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and 
oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An 
equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what 
every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
--Benjamin Franklin, Emblematical Representations, circa 1774

Fw: What Not to Blame (Paul Jacob on what to blame for the current economic debacle)

2009-03-27 Thread Fred B. Ellison



 
 







March 27, 2009 
What Not to Blame 
You've heard the calumny: The current economic debacle is the result of free 
markets.
 
This charge -- often made with lip-smacking glee -- makes no sense. 
 
I've discussed some specifics, before. Here are three more points: 
 
1. We haven't had a free market. We live in a heavily regulated, subsidized, 
coddled-and-attacked, over-taxed society. If the current debacle proves any 
system unfeasible, then the one proven wrong is the one we have. It's the mixed 
economy that has proven to have worse than mixed results.
 
2. Many on the left as well as on the right like to pretend that Republican 
talk of free markets has been effective. Both sides lie. The alleged party of 
small government and free markets pigged out at the government trough, 
increasing the size and scope of government. To not see growth of regulation 
and spending and government debt under Republican governance is to not see the 
corpulent elephant in the room. 
 
3. Blaming free markets is especially galling to actual proponents of free 
markets for a historical reason, too: Our idea grew up in reaction not to 
socialism, but to a system of government interference much like what we have 
today. Adam Smith called it mercantilism. Thomas Jefferson called it 
Parasite Institutions.
 
And it's the parasite institutions that caused the current mess.
 
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob. 
 

  

Paul Jacob is President of Citizens in Charge and the Citizens in Charge 
Foundation, which sponsors both Common Sense and Paul's weekly Townhall Column. 
The opinions expressed in Common Sense are Paul Jacob's and do not necessarily 
reflect the opinions of Citizens in Charge or the Citizens in Charge Foundation.

Fwd: City of Springfield News Release - South District Station Reduces Hours of Operation

2009-03-27 Thread Tom Martz
Do we need this position staffed from 7 AM to 11 PM seven days a week ??  I
guess I would require an audit of this department to see what are the busy
time vs what times are incredibly slow.  Does this position do anything else
during the periods of slow request??

Hours of Operation
To: t.ma...@gmail.com


Beginning April 1, 2009, the Springfield Police Department South District
Station front counter (Records) hours of operation will be reduced to Monday
through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The current hours of operation
are from 7 A.M. to 11 P.M., seven days a week. Three records clerk positions
are currently frozen because of the City’s budgetary shortfalls so this
change will allow us to move some of the current clerks at the South
District Station to the main Headquarters building to insure that maximum
service is available at the main headquarters building.

Police Department headquarters; located at 321 E. Chestnut Expressway will
continue to be open seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

There is a telephone outside the front door of the South District Station so
that a citizen needing immediate assistance can call for help from the
Communications Center.

I don't believe the 911 call center is in the south building, but I do know
the guy who heads up that department so I'll give JR. a call an ask

 Tom:

 Good questions. I have two more that might be pertinent.

 If the South District station is shut down (for any reason including budget
 cuts), are all 911 calls and records associated with those calls
 AUTOMATICALLY switched over to the main police HQ?  God help us if every
 call doesn't get switched over and there is no recording of calls just
 because there is no one at the South District Station.

 If everything is indeed kosher, do they really permanently NEED all the
 clerks at the South Station on a 7/24 basis?

 Hey, I'm asking from ignorance.  Let's just be thorough in our questioning
 and directions for auditing.

He really hit a home run here, but in asking a few people about him or the
Hannity remarks, I find no one who really has paid any attention to people
like Daniel Hannan, the answer, most people want to watch American Idol and
they have their heads stuck where no sun shines.
