Pass the Salt

Why is it the tax loving "left" in this state always threatens or imposes cuts on issues of Public safety? Is it because they think they can "bully" an already overburdened citizenry into the vortex of ever increasing "Tribute" to our masters in Lansing (or Washington)?

Before one thin Dime is cut on issue that affect the day to day safety of Citizens our "dear leaders" in Lansing should make sure they too have felt the same economic sting that the rest of the Citizenry has felt.

They should make sure that no taxpayer money is being lost to Fraud, Waste or Abuse.

They should insure that not one Cent is going to support people who have entered this country illegally.

Sadly, these alleged leaders in Lansing lack the personal integrity or intestinal fortitude to "offend" any of their special interest groups. Instead they threaten the safety of average folks just trying to get to what few jobs are left in Michigan.

Road safety should never have to be reduced to satisfy the whims of some in Lansing to keep their won nest well feathered.

Here's a "News Flash" Lansing (and Washington): We the People( you remember us lowly taxpayers don't you?) we are getting damned fed up with always riding in the back of the Bus while Billionaires and other assorted Criminals get to ride first class on our Dime.

Maggie Thatcher once wisely said: "The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money". When will our elected leaders figure that out?
