Not at all, actually I think it's impressive how well PA is doing compared to the other coal states.

Here's my favorite quote:
Quote:
"It's a revenue problem, not a spending problem," said Elizabeth McNichol, a senior fellow at the center.
Well, when you're spending more than you're taking in I think that classifies as a spending problem, lol. Hey, here's a philosophy, Don't spend what ya ain't got!

California really makes me laugh, they have been chasing businesses out of the state for years with their tax structure then when they lose more businesses they raise the taxes again, how long can any sane person think that can go on?

Start by eliminating social programs for those who don't pay taxes and deport illegal immigrants. Oh hell, can't do that... that's a group of voters ya can't lose.

Don't get me started I spent all week watching the "foodstampers" shop for their summer picnics. I observed two women today purchase just under $700 in groceries on foodstamps. Three 10 lb boxes of crab legs $89.99 ea. Soda, chips, sub trays and everything else that makes a picnic great and then complained and wanted to see the Manager, because the foodstamps would not cover the hot subs they got and owed $14 or so. Guess what, I will watch it again tomorrow. Admittedly, I get some satisfaction out of this sense of entitlement going too far and I get an apprehension for Retail Theft Makes the day go quicker

I am really sensitive because I have been making purchases for an upcoming party I am having and I have had to spread the purchase out due to the expense. Man, if I had $700 bucks I could cater an entire PAFOA outing, if you like roast pig with all the fixin's, and Yuengling Lager

Be safe (and fight swine flu, roast your pig).

Scott
