My new Bailout plan
Give the state governments some fuckin money so our kids can go to school. Seriously... NY state is about ready to drop 1 billion in school aid and another 3.5 billion in health care subsidies. NY state workers have already been told that raises are going to be non existant, health care is being trimmed and basically told people to invest into their retirement more and wait a few extra years to retire. 5/7 of the school districts in my county are without contracts for their teachers, 3 of them have been without for 2+ years. NY has tried to impose sales tax on all online sales (regardless of location of vendor), they tax online subscriptions, they are going to tax music downloads from itunes/etc (god bless those poor ignorant people) and they keep cuttin my gasoline with ethanol and charing me more.
And this is only whats happening in my little state, I cant imagine all the other states dealing with this (although most have the luck of not being attached to NYShitty).
I am relatively well off financially, I dont have kids, I dont even work for the state and I am not a violent man but seeing this kind of shit happen has made my blood boil. Trillions of dollar pissed away overseas, trillions pissed away on ignorant corporations making shitty cars and appliances... How much longer before this country says enough?
This is an honest questions, how much are we going to have to put up with before things change or we revolt and actually impose government to stop taking us to the cleaners? I realise theres no instant fix at this juncture and its obviously going to get worse before its gets better but goddamn... It makes me sick.
