Teachers union busted in power grab

The legislation would empower the state to seize local tax revenue and redirect it exclusively to inflate school budgets — mainly meaning teacher salaries, pensions and benefits. It would do so even if it meant overriding voter-adopted property tax limits or raiding funds for police, fire departments, libraries, parks and transportation. Montgomery and some other counties, which already spend more than half their budgets on schools, would be largely stripped of their discretion to set spending priorities.WA Post

This is crap.

When your district thrives on DC socialism

Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.) endorsed Romney on NBC's "Meet the Press" two days ahead of the Super Tuesday primaries where some 419 delegates are at stake.

Who ya gonna call?

NoSql and the $2 billion/yr market

Will the the entire web will convert to Json graph crawling web bots?    I am betting on it, and I think the industry will steal my idea for the semantic processor.  I have a $100 to bet, any takers?. Think about it, what are all the Couch Potatoes and Mangos gonna do? They have to adopt the concept of web bots, and when they do their choices will be either a substandard design, or steal the Fresno design.

Gingrich: Let's go to the moon and have an Iran war

On CNN's "State of the Union" Gingrich said there is "no evidence" the White House is committed to stopping Iran and that "any [Israeli] prime minister faced with the threat of nuclear arms in Iran” would preemptively strike.

Republican Gingrich supporters just agreed to another $10 trillion in extra debt.

What's new with Json?

The Json folks stole my @ ugly, I was planning to use that but they assigned is a less related function than convolve. The nerve of those folks!

Socialist Koch brothers seek takeover of CATO

Brad summarizes the fiasco. Koches are not libertarian, don't belong in CATO.

I have examples of Jerry Brown and the pension disaster

Reporter: I understand that you’ve gotten some criticism that you’ve ceded way too much to the unions.

Brown: Give me an example.

Reporter: As far as the education, teachers unions, and just as far as some of the contracts that have been negotiated, that you could be making the same mistake that you made in your last administration...

Your idiotic, and anti-democratic Dills Act has now bankrupted Fresno, Stockton, Orange Countty twice, and LA is on the brink. Newsome left SF unable to pay its pension promises. You have allowed state sanctioned withdrawals from paychecks that go directly to your corrupt politics.

You and Gray Davis constantly screwed around with energy markets and cause enormous costs and disruption. You spent a ton of dough-re-me on Oackland, and the place went straight back to the pits, wasted money.
He says:

California, the economy is doing better, it’s coming back. The private economy added $90 billion, and that feeds into the public sector as well. There are deficits because there’s been excesses in the last decade, brought on principally by the mortgage bubble and breakdown.

Read the latest Ceridian index and quit lying. California just took a dump, revenues are down some $5 billion more than your bogus estimate. You are pushing this bogus choo choo thing, which you know will never be built.

What is your major policy? Send a 25% tax premium to DC and deny California citizens a fair vote. Blaming Swarzenenegger is easy, he is a dumbshit Republican, but at least he has stupidity as an excuse.

About 30% of the welfare checks in Fresno go to support this killing

Since President Felipe Calderon took office in 2006 and declared an open war on the drug cartels, nearly 50,000 people have been killed in suspected drug-related violence in Mexico, according to Mexico's government. Many of the dead are narco-traffickers and low-level dealers. Increasingly, civilians have been caught in the crossfire as cartels fight for the lucrative drug trading zones so critical to smuggling narcotics north. The violence in towns along the U.S.-Mexico border has been well documented. CNN

And the odd thing, even if Fresnans wanted to stop our meth consumption, we don't have enough votes in the Senate to do a damn thing!

Republican Communism

WSJ: The Export Subsidy Boomerang. “If you thought Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Solyndra would teach Congress a lesson about politicized credit, think again. The federal Export-Import Bank is up for reauthorization, and the only question seems to be how much more taxpayer money Washington wants to put at risk. If the GOP wants to have a principled battle about fiscal waste and market distortions, this is a good one. . . . Business lobbies claim the country can’t afford to let the bank expire or—gasp—private banks like Citigroup and J.P. Morgan would have to do more trade financing. California Republican Gary Miller, supported by fellow Republican Spencer Bachus, Democrat Barney Frank and others, has a bill pending in the House to prolong the bank’s life through 2015 and raise its lending cap to $160 billion from $100 billion. The House Financial Services Committee waved the bill through in a voice vote last year and it’s likely to get a floor vote this month.” WSJ

These are direct loan subsidize to wealthy people, and Republicans tell their idiot supporters they favor small government.
