I lived in Illinois when the casino was passed and they promised all the money was going to go to the schools. And it did. But the problem was they put that money in the school budget and took out money for something else. I was watching the news and they talked about the same thing happening in other states. What happens is money goes to schools but the money it replaces in the budget is taken out and used for something else. What certain schools do is to put a rider on the money. Unless there's a rider on the proposition, the money will go someplace else.
A few weeks ago Gen. Colin Powell came and gave a speech. He had a lot of good things to say. I was interested when he came out in support of Obama because he said he is getting us out of the wars, has not started any new wars, and turned around the economic mess. Gen. Powell is a very wise man.
I read in the paper about the leaf pick-up this year. The pamphlet says how much the city is going to save this year. Since the city raised their water rate, maybe they can give us part of the credit back on our water bill with the money they saved on the leaf pick-up. There's no reason for it to go up as much as it has. If they're really saving money on the leaf pick-up they should do the right thing and credit the citizens.
I read a paper making light of Obama's accomplishments. I am not. That is why I voted for him for a second term. People should remember when jobs were being lost grown men were standing on the streets holding signs begging for work. My husband was one of them. We've made sacrifices, but we were still willing to vote for Obama.
Many of us have had a "we can't go on like this" moment at some point in our lives. We can't go on spending and behaving like we have. Our tomorrows will be owned by China.
Comments
Casino, schools: Federal, State, and Local governments are tricky aren't they.
Powell, Obama: A General with no ghosts in his closet not like the 2 dummies who just got caught.
Credit citizens: You can have all the leaves that you want....don't you think that the city will put that savings where it is needed (refer to above casino, schools).
Supporting Obama: The election is over quit campaigning.
Overspending: Made in China.
Week from today is Thanksgiving.
The Winds of War are blowing in the Middle East, how long til it's an all and out war between Israel and its neighbors.
Let's see - one week after the election unemployment is up, gas prices are up and your taxes are going up. Hope and Change.
A huge Denny's franchise announced today that because of Obamacare he will have to raise prices 5% and cut employees hours from full-time to 28 hours a week at 40 restaurants. You asked for it, you got it. And more to come. Obama is still is pushing the far-left socialist agenda. I'm happy to say I didn't vote for him.
Gas is the cheapest it has been in many months,2.95 a gallon, companies using scare tactics, when Obamacare doesn't start until 2014,is simply an excuse to up their profits. And as usual, some folks need to research socialism....we don't have it! I am immensely glad that I voted for President Obama and had he not won, I would have still respected the position and not have been on the succession, fraud, etc., etc. train. I have never seen such poor losers in my life, move on and quit being part of the problem!
BBalls is like most of them.... a poorly informed liberal.
I have not been bragging, but I am sure tired of all the ignorance, belly aching and just pure UnAmerican hate and comments I have been hearing. It is a national embarrassment, the majority spoke, it is way past time to move on.
Both sides need to get to work and fix our financial problems or learn to speak Chinese.
Whatever, remarking on all the hate filled comments I am hearing is not hateful!
It is a national embarrassment, the majority spoke, it is way past time to move on.

Bballs,
The majority of producers in American have spoken and they do not like the takers electing the empty suit currently in office.
Obama wins the office but it certainly is anything but a noble win. It is a win based on America's takers with their hand out expecting Obama to keep filling it with money removed by force from the people who actually make America work.
You may as well grab your *** and hold on because I do not think there is any question but you are going to hear more if Obama does not do a huge turn around from the past nearly 4 years. And his meeting of yesterday with his fawning supporters from the MSM does not look too promising on a turnaround.
If you are not one of the minority group of supporters voting for Obama and are indeed a taker, you owe his detractors a big thank you.
Wheels, be careful. Bball has "multiple" college degrees...He is smarter than all of us. Well, besides Obama.

Over the last 4 years all I heard from liberals like was - "It's Bush's fault".

CT,
After my main supplier was sold to a larger collector of companies, and all of the honest men were left go, I spent the last ten or so years of my work career dealing with these college kids. It was actually fun after I figured the game plan out. All you had to do was let them indulge themselves in their own self importance and then let their own ego defeat them.
I ain't skeered. :-)
CT,
Since you appear to know BBall. Is he gainfully employed? Thanks.
Wheels, I don't personally know bball, but I can't help myself from mocking him about his bragging on his "multiple" college degrees...Wheels, I enjoy your post and the points you make...Like myself, you get it....people like bball have been indoctrinated and they will soon realize what they have voted for.

CT,
Thank you and likewise. You don't post often but always have something to say when you do. Unlike some of these educated idiots. If or not Bballs ever realizes or not is kind of questionable in my mind. Have nephew by marriage who is as gung ho over Obama as he was in 2008. In 2008 at a family reunion, I was on a cane due to having a knee replacement 6 days before, and I thought I was going to have to beat him to death with it I had him so mad at me. :-)
He tried working on me again this year by e-mail and I suppose I offended him because I haven't heard from him for about 3 weeks now. I am just mortified. ;-)
