Every day seems to bring more news about states going broke. There's no money for people who are out of work. There's no money for health care. Firefighters and police, nope sorry, you are now laid off. And special needs kids? I guess they do not need care like we have always thought they needed.

There is no question there is a budget crises all around the country. A lot of it stems from W's war and from his spending us into the hole without raising more income. It also comes from W's vision where all millionaires were created equal and everyone one else is usable trash. But no matter where the budget crises has come from we have to deal with the mess. I think we need to raise taxes. Especially we need to raise taxes on the very wealthiest people who probably have not had to pay any for the last eight years.

There is one other thing we could do. Hey all you politicians, how about some give backs on your part? Are any of you refusing the er Diem coming from you forcing state legislators into special sessions? How much money do you have in the bank? A lot more than the rest of us, I bet.

Do you think this will happen? I doubt it! Those feeding at the public trough will continue to do so and they will continue to raise their own salaries. No wonder about the definition of politics; poly = many, tics =-blood sucking creatures, so politics is the land of many blood sucking creatures.

Next election, remember the Republirats who got us to this place. And remember those taking money from those who need it.
