You know when politicians release stuff on Friday they don’t want anyone to look at it. Apparently LePage’s budget is something he would prefer we didn’t dive into, because it came out this afternoon.
Well, I don’t know the ins and outs of the Maine budget but the first thing I immediately did was compare it to the last budget.
The General Fund request is slightly larger than Baldacci’s last request. And according to LePage’s own summary it is 7.8% larger than the last actual General Fund budget.
The Tea Party’s new slogan: We promise to keep spending increases below 8%!
We’ll surely learn more about the actual line items in the budget as time goes on, so I’ll reserve judgment on that.
AMG’s LePage budget thread is oddly, oddly quiet as of 3:30 this afternoon. Must be double, triple, and quadruple checking their math.
You don’t get it do you, liberal punk? The Democrats had wanted a 2000% increase in spending this year in Augusta, so this budget has been cut over 1900%!!!!!
They also wanted to completely fund the housing, education, rent, and colleges for all immigrants, while hiring Union members to teach them how to beat the system!
While a 1900% decrease in the budget is not enough it is a place to start.
Once we turn government into a well run business, we can sell the rights to provide police, fire fighters, and the Maine Turnpike authority to private industry.
Once that is in place we will cut their tax rate to ZERO!! Then you will see job creation, liberal slime.
Maybe you will finally get the picture!!!!!!!!!
The POOR are the problem. If we get rid of the POOR, the sick, the demands for services, business killing regulations on water quality, air quality, and food safety the market will take over.
The market works!!! If your kids die from poison food, your male child grows breasts from BPA you won’t buy from that company again, and they will be forced to change.
Finally, a voice of reason! I’m so tired of these “libs” and all their whining. “Waaaah, my kid has cancer and a deformed hand because you didn’t make sure your products were tested for cancer, hand-deforming ingredients.” Man up. If life hands you a disease-ridden, cauliflower-fisted child, make lemonade. As for tainted batch of unregulated pre-natal vitamins that your wife ingested that led to stumpy the cancer lad, just don’t buy anymore and put those meanies out of business, problem solved. Let’s get back to doing things the American way, guided by our guts and the protection of our savior. Don’t even get me started on the “poor”. Poor refers to one specific group with one specific reason why they are poor. Get rid of them and we’re good to go. If libs would just get out of the way we could problem solve like this until we all return to the days of “Leave it to Beaver” and enjoy the good life once again. And yes, I thought the second half of ‘Pleasantville’ blew.
