Meanwhile, Penn State and Michael Mann where the phony "hockey stick" portrayal of the global warming lie was invented is ROLLING in money. These cutbacks severely impact the poorest of the poor while our administration goes on funding imaginary problems.
Cannot we cut both Mann's madness and SSI payments? I have seen more SSI abuse and local government ignoring it living in Greene County to support the complete abolishment of the program. There is no way to reform this program and it must die.
he total state revenues for 2009-2010 were $24 Billion. The budget was $27.8 billion. The difference was made up of Stimulus Money, MCARE transfer ( illegal some think) and raiding the Rainy Day Fund and,yet, there was enough for ten million dollars for a skating rink in Allentown in the district of Republican Karen Beyer. Skating rink trumps welfare? odd choice. oh well….that's the way its always been. Legislation is like making sausage and some people are going to be ground up.
What a mess???
Cutting six hundred legislative staff jobs would have saved more than 30 million bucks in this years budget.
Cutting 253 legislators pay by ten percent is good for around 2 million bucks.
Education is bureaucratic, wasteful and expensive.
And yes, there's even fraud in disability payments.
Lets cut the spending, please.
I won't vote to re-elect incumbents because these are not their priorities.
I'm not voting for Democrats, but I will not support business as usual GOP incumbents who aren't lifting a finger to really change things.
