Here in Dallas, a $130 million budget shortfall has brought proposals of closing more libraries and swimming pools while laying-off hundreds of skilled city workers. But, it hasn't stopped city-subsidized construction on a new "designer" bridge across the Trinity River. The city does plan to convert the old bridge into a park. Another big park is under construction in the arts district, near the new symphony hall.
The State of Texas says they need $18 billion to break even in the legislative session that begins in January. Their proposals, so far, are to introduce more gambling and to crowd public school students into classrooms. The Texas AFL-CIO has demanded that they start spending the state's "Rainy Day Fund" before starting layoffs, but the Republican governor and top state politicians are not responding.

The States collapsing is like a train wreck in slow motion. The old saying is that everything is bigger in Texas does that mean they will surpass California in debt?

Texas Completely Falling Apart...really? Wow, that is news to me. One would think you would have some kind of example or piece of evidence to substantiate such wild claims besides some poor people holding a rally in Dallas.

The State of Texas will be lost like a ball in tall grass when it comes time to prepare the biannual budget beginning in Jan 2011. The state legislators will get bog down the entire six month. Gov Perry will call a special session after Jun 2011 for another 30 days follow by another 30 day special session in order to create the budget. This time around, Christians will gladly accept state wide gambling with casinos at horse track and on indian reservation. This will be a last minute stop gap effort to continue to rob Texans who will flock to the newly created casino in there area. Do not fall for this bull shit you sheeple Texans

I especially like the statement "crowd public school students into classrooms". Blatant scare tactics. Every school in the system has more teachers then they have classrooms. The modern version of featherbedding in every school system. Fire the excess teachers and it won't make a difference to the number of students in the classes. Balance the budget don't increase taxes.
ReplyDeleteGW! We still blaming GW? Haven't you heard? ZeroBama is in charge and he is using the crisis to pay off his supporters and buy more. Wake up before it's all gone. ZeroBama is anti-American and intends to destroy our country. We would all be better off if he was just the corrupt Chicago thug we all thought he was instead of a Manchurian candidate.
