Has California lost its entire mind? Are there any leaders that are even sane left in California? We couldn’t help notice the last few years the endless whining about money out of California…..delays on state checks and freezes in payroll, not meeting budget after budget. Their continued response to their state of bankruptcy and financial desperation is to continue to raise already huge taxes, fees and make more regulations. They do this while begging for major stimulus and federal money from congress, while denying illegal immigration is a problem.As a glorious backdrop to all this absurdity, we have seen thousands of businesses leave the state because they can’t afford to do business with so many taxes and regulations. At least some of those businesses have fled to Arizona to thrive and are actually making money now. You know…..that evil state that much of California boycotted because of their immigration law. Funny how things work out.
In the face of federal and state financial meltdowns, insanity continues
California is swirling down the financial toilet, so, what do they do? LA introduces their pride and joy. It is actually a first in the nation. Drum roll……..They have made in LA the costliest public school in the country, $578 Million dollars. It is said to be the “Taj Mahal” of schools, with deluxe everything. It is more expensive than China’s Olympic Stadium! It is SO deluxe in fact it would be a stunning resort set in an exotic island for most of us and the honeymoon dream vacation of a life time. We are talking stunning, manicured parks, amazing swimming pool, fancy food courts, orchestra-pit auditoriums and much more extravagance.
This is at a time when the state is going bankrupt, freezing state checks and begging for federal money! The insanity with priorities goes on in other states as well. There was a high school, also an amazing ‘resort’ put in Massachusetts for $195.5 million dollars.
Everyone has their fund raising speeches about these absurd expenses, especially the last few years. What ever happened to a school having a cafeteria and you eat one or two choices that the cooks serve you? Now you have to have an award winning food court or the kiddies won’t make it??? Our achievement and education levels continue to go lower in the world, yet our answer is to spend more money, no, nutty levels of money we don’t have to entertain the kiddies.
TRY EDUCATING THE KIDDIES, TEACHING THEM TO FOCUS, LEARNING DISCIPLINE AND DOING SCHOOL WORK! Maybe some of their endless self esteem needs would take care of themselves if they actually did some real work, adjusted to reality and felt better about themselves as they REALLY achieved and got good grades. I know….I’m evil and mean spirited. Some say on my radio show I’m the antichrist, so what do you expect?
Sports are nice, but we don’t need 30 choices of boutique and rare sports to also choose from. Drama is nice, BUT, we don’t need a practical ‘Universal Studio’s drama department.
California and other states who justify building schools into the hundreds of millions only reflect our lame, exploitive tax hallucinations with this administration and the feds. Apparently the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I have already screamed about the insanity peppered all throughout the stimulus bill and definitions of national tax emergencies i.e. studying the effects of cocaine on monkeys, mice in the bay area, yoga and hot flashes as therapy, millions for exotic pet disease research, millions for the ‘first Tee program, designed to teach little kids golf. We have seen painted graffiti walls, public swimming pools, money to teach children about rock music and endless millions for recreation.
The U.S. is being hit by the largest spending Katrina the world has ever seen with the Obama administration and this congress! They spend money based on extravagance, their limited, ‘acting out’ agenda and need for endless entertainment, controls and redistribution schemes.
For our country to recover and stand upright again, financially and economically, we must throw the bums out of congress and vote out Obama. All who voted for the stimulus bill and Health care bill, along with other absurd waste must leave. They have demonstrated that they serve only excess, greed, socialism and themselves.
We don’t need half a billion dollar public schools in any state! Until California and other states right themselves with their out of control debt and struggles, they should and must establish REAL priorities, not Hollyweird and Universal Studios priorities! They should fix the hemorrhaging of business leaving the state by cutting their endless taxes and regulations so business can actually make some money again. They should join Arizona and deal with the epidemic of illegal aliens in the work force taking U.S. jobs.
Maybe we need to vote in only Mom’s, accountants, Vets and Grandmas into congress with money leadership positions. Obviously, so many in state leadership and most of our congress and White House don’t have a clue.
