Cutting school funding!!
 

Not a big political person but I find it amazing our state is going to have huge cuts in school funding next year, but the handouts such as welfare, stamps, housing etc.... go untouched.

my wife does home health where she takes of a child how mother complained about only getting 600 something for food for three children. My wife usually nonverbal type but had a few words for her. It's a joke what the system is doing to people.

Well, here is the song and dance routine in California.

Cut school funds. Teachers Union goes nuts, says schools will close, classes will be too big (they already are) and so on and every year school goes on as usual.

Unions want to tax businesses (go figure) and the wealthy and spend more money all the while they are getting dues and spending more money on political advertisements. The businesses move to another state with less taxes and the only jobs left are public jobs that have been unionized

When the economy is bad, everyone has to tighten their belt, how come people think the government has unlimited funds?

That's what Chris Christie is trying to convey. I think he's doing a great job of it.

The socialists want to rob Peter to pay Paul. Paul is not the one complaining.

There has to be some monumental dis-connect with some people. It's OUR money that makes up the government funds.
How that doesn't matter or factor in with some is really mind boggling.

I love to shop...there I said it....my income has been cut severely, so guess what...I don't shop.

The government needs to do the same.
