School Voucher Kids Do Better

Booze! Drugs! Parties! Naked politicians!
Our federal government.
“Psst! Hey Buddy. Want to Buy A Train?”
What he meant was that if we added commuter rail “there would be more spending than we could even contemplate at this point.”
From hoping for a big YAY! to a small “awe sheesh – really?”
We told him: "Go Big or Go Home". From $100 Billion to $61 Billion to $38 Billion to $15 Billion to $350 Million – seemingly, the will to start chopping up the Federal Leviathan is evaporating as fast as the numbers are heading downward. Sigh…. Not sure which has faded quicker: … Read more
Big Ben, Parliament
Rumor has it Mr. Obama gave a speech yesterday about something. I didn’t watch it and with good reason. Been there, done that. Two faced, self contradicting, tired, and repetitive. Put another way, Big Ben, Parliament.
Municipal Outsourcing Works…
There is a city in Georgia that outsourced just about everything. The result? Better services, low taxes, no pension bombs, and money to spare.
The (other) Picture of The Day
New Hampshire may have a chart just like this one, so with any luck someone will be kind enough to provide it. Until then this shows us what Ohio Education Association Union Employees make compared to the other suckers who “also pay taxes.” A theme repeated in every state most likley. Data is supposed to be from the US Dept of Labor.
Meet Terie “Billion Dollar Deficit” Vu.
NH Journal is reporting more fear-mongering from the left, and from the usual suspects. Teri “Billion Dollar Deficit” Norelli (D- scaring women and children), is promising us that the Republican Budget will ‘put peoples lives at risk.
A contrast in size…

A Silber In The Minds Eye
So in the face of this economic catastrophe, which the democrats happily sold as a disaster not unlike a Biblical plague, what did NH Democrats do? They decided that despite that we were going to take in 23% more revenue than we did when times were “good” and went on a grow government spending spree. You could call that a revenue problem, but I think it is really more of a democrats are selfish, ideological, tax and spend A-holes problem.

Cornerstone Ministries Weighs In: Support the Responsible Republican State Legislators!
VISIT NHCORNERSTONE.ORG >> This Legislature has put our money where their mouth was… And we should thank them for it! Dear Tim, The message was LOUD and CLEAR last November – Stop the Spending. More importantly, government needed to live within its means. If deficit spending does not work on the home front, then there is no reason our government should … Read more
2012 Can’t Come Fast Enough
The Sunday Union Leader had a letter to the editor titled "2012 can’t come fast enough." It suggests that New Hampshire did not vote for a majority and leadership intent on stripping collective bargaining agreements from 70,000 New Hampshire workers…" which is a number I would contest given this data. (Where we may be hiding 70,000 public sector union workers is a question worth exploring, but not right now.)
The author is Kevin Foley. Kevin is a great guy. We worked together at UPS for a number of years, he was a driver, and I was a package car loader–including his. But Kevin has been a well paid union organizer with the Teamsters for years, as an IBT Business agent, and earns more than double the national average in income and compensation for the privilege. Kudos to Kevin for the sweet gig. I bet he works hard for it.
Kevin has donated hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars to democrats and the local Teamster PAC–(Granite State Teamsters DRIVE) which supports the national union and democrat candidates in the state (one local example from NH S.o.S.); the same ones who grew state government, added public union employees, some of whose dues pay Kevin’s salary, and the same democrats who left us with a nearly one billion dollar budget deficit as a result.

Public Employee Union Members Fail in Attempt to Intimidate Republicans in NH State House Finance Committee!
WOW! On March 24, 2011 the State House Finance Committee—which prepares state budgets—met to vote on a budget bill. Rep. Neal Kurk proposed an amendment that would put an end to the so-called "Evergreen Clause" that gives public employee unions huge power in spending negotiations, and an incentive to "stonewall" in order to get what they want. With … Read more
