Another loser who does not get it!

Jim Florio, the one term governor who felt taxing toilet paper was the proper thing to do has now weighed in on off-shore drilling.  Here is the link to the op-ed the Star Ledger ran on Monday: http://www.nj.com/starledger/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-1/1214195728207890.xml&coll=1

Notice the multiply use of the words “possible spill”, “potential leak”, “limited to a few years’ worth of consumption”, “supply would be minute”, “decade away”.  Wow, if we lived by the word “possible”, who would fly if it was “possible” the plane might crash?  It would be crazy to drive, if we “might” be in an accident that would kill us.  And it gets better when the supply would be “minute”.  How does he know this, is he an expert in oil exploration?

Just a few months ago, off the coast of Brazil, an elephant field was found.  An elephant field is a huge oil deposit.  And how did Brazil find it, they got experts to drill for the oil!  They did not live by the words ‘possible, might”, “minute”.  They decided to be leaders, not whiners.

It’s time for Jim Florio to go away and let real leaders be heard.

DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW!

And for idiots like Jim Florio, IT’S TAXES, STUPID!

How stupid does Corzine think we are?

Yesterday, the Star Ledger reported how a “tax windfall” of $650 million would be used to help pay down the current debt of $33 billiongeneral, $58 billion of unfunded health insurance costs for retired government workers/teachers and $28 billion short fall in state pension funds.  Wow, that’s great except for one little problem; the day before his announcement, he agreed to a budget that included the illegal borrowing  of $3.9 billion for Abbott district schools!  Now lets do some math, $33 billion plus $58 billion plus $28 billion equals $119 billion.  If we subtract $650 million, we get $118.35 billion.  But, we have to add $3.9 billion so the final amount of debt becomes 122.25 billion! 

So instead of decreasing the debt as he says, what is actually happening is that we will be increasing the debt by $3.25 Billion!  How in hell will this decrease interest payments!  How stupid does he think we are?  Maybe instead of spending all of this additional money on education in our schools, we should spend it educating these idiots in Trenton on basic math! 

To all the idiots in Trenton who can’t add simple numbers, IT’S TAXES STUPID!

A little interesting fact about Abbott District spending

Yesterday, I wrote about my “discussion” with Assemblymen Gary Schaer.  It dealt with the new borrowing of 3.9 billion dollars to build new schools, the majority of them in Abbott Districts.  He felt inspite of the corruption in previous spending of 9.0 billion dollars, they still did good.  But, how can it be good if in Trenton, they start to build a school on top of a contaminated industrial site, then had to rip the building down at a cost of 22 million dollars!

If you start to figure things out, it seems that well over half of 9.0 billion dollars was thrown away.  Now take the case of Garfield, which built a 70 million dollar middle school using Abbott funds.  But, if half of the total funds were thrown away, that school now costs 140 million dollars!  The math is easy, the reasoning is easy, the only ones that don’t get it are the idiots in Trenton!

For the all the idiots in Trenton, “IT’S TAXES STUPID!”

What a waste of time!

Tonight I went to the “Constituent Services Evening” that was being held by Assemblymen Gary Schaer, Fred Scalera and State Senator Paul Sarlo.  Well first things first, only Gary Schaer showed up.  I guess Fred and Paul had to think up new ways to tax and spend us some more.  Further, and this really pisses me off, only 2 other citizens showed up to confront Schaer on the real issues, mainly a state budget that is still loaded with fat!

After listening to Gary ramble on for 45 minutes about free services that he can arrange through his office (like anything is free from the government) he opened the table for questions.  Of course I was the first out of the gate with the question of how it is legal for them to borrow 3.9 billion dollarswithout the approval of the voters!  His answer was that he and the other “elected officials” in Trenton felt that the Supreme Court would order them to spend the money.  When I questioned why not “let the voters decide in November”?  He went on to tell a story about his wife buying sardines at Shop Rite and Costco.  He then decided he had enough debating with me and closed the meeting.  Of course this was after I wanted to discuss things like dual office holding, family leave, part time work full time pensions, etc. etc. etc.  What a jerk!

For Gary (double dipper) Schaer, and no shows Fred Scalera and Paul (triple dipper) Sarlo, “IT’S TAXES, STUPID”!

District 36 “Constituent Services Evening”

For all you hardworking citizens that live in the 36th. district of New Jersey, the idiots who represent us, Senator Paul Sarlo and Assemblymen Gary Schaer and Fred Scalera will be holding this “Constituent Services Evening tomorrow, Wednesday the 25th.  The meeting will start at 7;00PM at the Garfield Boys and Girls Club, 490 Midland Avenue, Garfield, New Jersey.  You are suppose to RSVP to Schaer’soffice at 973-249-3665.  How about showing up along with myself to tell them once and for all, IT’S TAXES STUPID!

He is stepping all over the state constitution again!

Once again Jon Corzine is trashing our state constitution.  He is going to borrow 8 billion dollars without the taxpayers approval!  But, it will not be spent until 2009.  Why can’t he wait for November and allow the citizens of this state to vote on this borrowing?  What is he afraid of, that we might have finally realized that he is nothing but a spend and tax liberal?  Well guess what, he is!

For Jon (I love to spend other people’s money) Corzine, IT’S TAXES STUPID!

They are doing it again to us!

The constitution of the State of New Jersey forbids the borrowing of money, except that debt which has been approved by the citizens of the state by vote!  In other words, if the idiots in Trenton want to borrow money, they must put the items on the ballot and have us vote either for or against the borrowing.  well, the new budget that they want to pass next week includes borrowing 4 billion dollars, without are approval!

This money is earmarked for school construction and will be spent just like the last time they borrowed money and gave it to a corrupt School Construction Corporation and blew through 8.6 billion dollars!  And to make matters worse, the original borrowing was suppose to be 2.5 billion dollars and they added 1.5 billion!

Two of the biggest idiots in Trenton justify this in the following manner.  Ron Rice, D-Essex says they have to replace schools in the ironbound section of Newark that were built in the 1800’s.  My question to that is “What the hell was Newark doing for the last 150 years with the money they collected and the state sent them”?  Gary Schaer, D-Passaic, a triple dipping senator suggested that one day, one of the students who use these new facilites could find cures for cancer and other diseases.  Well, I have news for him, these students would be so smart, that they would be the first ones to leave New Jersey for a state that would not tax the living crap out of them!

Get on the telephone, write a letter, send and e-mail and tell these idiots that you will remember the next time at the polls who they have put the screw to you and that they are gone!

To Ron Rice, Gary Schaer and all of the other idiots in Trenton, IT’S TAXES STUPID!
