flu – I don’t have a problem paying for services. As I mentioned, City of San Diego does not charge for trash. I think they should and living in the City of San Diego, I would have no problem paying for trash pick up. I have no problem paying for the services I use. But if the City, State, etc do not manage their money wisely, then I’m not going to continue to give them money for services that continue to dwindle. I would love to see an accounting.
I balance my budget, my books, etc. I know how much I make. I know how much I spend. I know if I have to cut corners. I know if I have extra, I probably should save for a rainy day. I know there are things I want or need. I know if I extend myself. I know I’ll have to maybe work a little more or make a sacrifice later to make up for this and it may hurt for a while. All this is just me.
We have “experts” in our government that are supposed to do this w/the taxpayers’ money and accordingly plan their budget and expenses. This is where they fail!!
