-Caveat Lector- Just missed the opening details, but NPR reported this evening on a rather noisy demonstration in New York?, where folks who had been cut from welfare were protesting the lack of jobs and/or jobs that pay a living wage. The speaker made the point that one in four children in NY State are living in poverty and that working families, as well as working mothers, cannot afford to live on what they earn. Thought I'd catch the whole story on the evening news. Guess what? It wasn't there. A lot of people are very angry that NY's statespeople voted themselves annual ranging from $20-40K, while Pataki gave his aides $50kK raises. Their salaries are the highest in the nation. As someone who has recently started receiving Social Security--after a lifetime on the job, I got a 2% cost of living raise--which amounts to $10--that's ten dollars--a month....$120 a year. Something fishy here. And Pataki sees himself as presidential caliber? That's the GOP party line. And they talk about "entitlements."? And cutting Social Security benefits? I guess it's Banana Republic time. sno0wl DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.
