Speak Out 4/21/13
This talk regarding people's employment insurance rates going up due to Obamacare, insurance rates have gone up steadily for years. I had to drop my medical insurance six years ago. They're going to get money from you no matter what so the CEOs and managers can get all the money. So quit complaining about Obamacare...

Deer, red lights
In regard to people complaining about deer eating their shrubbery and the city's responsibility, the city and police should work more on keeping people from running red lights. Those cause many more accidents than deer do. The deer have no choice; we took their habitat.
Commission meetings
I see "no county commission meeting" in the paper more than I care to count. What are we paying them for if they don't meet?
Bush years
Things were no picnic under Bush. Gas prices were high, and the economy was 2 percent better -- which is hardly anything to jump up and down about. The jury is still out on whether or not the wars were the best course of action.
Deer issue
I have news for the caller. The deer issue is about people being concerned about getting shot by an arrow in their own yards. I would be curious how many people have gotten injured in cities that allow urban deer hunting.
Lt. governor
This is in regard to Illinois getting rid of the lieutenant governor position. We should do the same in Missouri. The person in there now isn't doing anything now, and it would save the state a lot of money. We should think about it.

Deer cartoon
I liked Mr. Crowe's cartoon about the deer, but he left out a word. It should have read "In Cape Girardeau's 'near' future." Loved the cartoon. Thank you.
Thank you
I would like to send a big thank you to the person who found my cellphone in the Burger King parking lot on Broadway. Thank you so much. You are a very good person.
Casino money
The city council should review priorities and use the casino money on things everyone uses like the city streets. They are a disgrace, and I hate to drive on them.
Debt problem
The U.S. will have a budget deficit for many years going into the future. I think the Republicans are right; we have a problem with the debt.
Just getting by
There are 149 million people just getting by who can't spend money. This is half of the population. There is no way to create a demand for goods and services. How can the economy come back under such conditions?
Newspaper delivery
It was very nice of the delivery people of the newspaper on County Road 258. They bring the paper right up to my porch, and I am so thankful they do that.
