http://bit.ly/199x2e - - - Now we've really done it. We've poked the blood-sucking monster in Sacramento and it's time to grab whatever we have left and run for our lives.
If he is telling the truth - and why wouldn't we believe anything that comes out of the monster's mouth - the state is roughly $41 BILLION in the hole over the last two years, which is mind-boggling even for a state of 38 million people. Last week an overwhelming number of voters told the governor and state lawmakers to pound sand, pummeling proposed tax hikes and other Ponzi schemes they claimed would help them balance the budget. Since that Tuesday election, lawmakers have been threatening to pick the pockets of cities, counties, school districts and anyone with a wallet in order to save their jobs. And that brings up the million-dollar question: How do those guys stay employed? They have failed in almost every way imaginable. If they were students, they would have flunked out long ago. If they were in business, they'd be closed, fired, or both. What should they do? Excellent question. For starters, we can no longer afford to pay government services for the 3.2 million people living in California illegally. Last I checked that bill was roughly $13 BILLION per year. That one move would put a nice dent in the deficit, but nobody in Sacramento has the guts to even discuss it. I wonder, though, how a ballot question on that issue might fare today (not that lawmakers pay attention to what we want). "Would you rather close schools, fire stations, police stations and other services, or stop paying for health care, school and other services for illegal immigrants?" And before you gentle souls start going all Mother Teresa on me, it's not about race, or sensitivity. It's about money, as in we don't have any, as in we can't even afford to take care of our own citizens. - - - What he said. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
