It's amazing with all the money they P155 AWAY on trash programs when the budget cuts come do it's always services to the taxpayers or schools that they cut. The people of NJ should petition to remove this a-hole from office immediately. Over in California (I see on the news) they're crying they'll have to open prison doors and let criminals out if the don't get immediate tax increases. Then I find out they've cut the sea otter program by 50% already. The @#$%^&^%$#! sea otter program is more important than keeping criminals off the streets??!!!?? The same goes for every state including mine. If the illegitimi are SOOOOO stupid they can't think past that, they have NO business being in office for another even one more day regardless of party affiliation.
Unfortunately they may not be as stupid as you think. In order to get their tax increases approved (or at least not opposed) the politicians threaten to cut the most public form of government spending (police, fire. . etc.). Most of these threats are probably idle, but they can be enough to scare an unsophisticated voting public into allowing the politicians to continue taxing and spending. Are there dozens of wasteful and redundant programs that could (and should) be cut? Of course, but most politicians view spending cuts as a loss of political power. Also, keep in mind that some of these wasteful programs benefit individuals, groups and corporations which are sources of political support and campaign contributions. |
