[quote=paramount]It’s all of the above – mark my words though – nothing will really come of it except possibly more fees and taxes.
Assembly members will still get their 120k salary + free car (many opt for a Lexus of course) + free gas + free insurance + 30k per diem + this + that….[/quote]
If only that was the problem, and not just a symptom.
The problem isnt the few million the legeslator rewards itself with, it is the billions that are spent taking care of people and the costs of providing that service. The medical bills, the Schools, healthy children programs, the free lunch/food programs, the roads and infastructure etc etc etc. All the stuff that sounds good but we dont want to pay for.
Basically there alot of people out there taking alot out of the system and putting little to nothing back in.(Most of them are either old, or very young.)Those putting into the system dont want to put anymore in, so the system is running out. We either need to put more in, or expect less from the system (You mean Octomom cant have 14 children, many of whom are special needs, and have the state pay for all their care/education/costs!) She is only an extream example of the real problem.
