I always thought you were an educated person. That is an ignorant statement
with no truth. Our state workers have been given some days off. The
judges though, had to be publicly called out before they took them.

I was never a fan of Johnny Cash. My son got me into his music just a
few years ago. Great stuff.

I'm not self employed but I do run the manufacturing of the company. The
owner is free to spend some time away in semi-retirement.

I don't have the authority to give myself a raise. In any case, it would be
irresponsible to do so right now. Business is slow and is not expected to
get much better until next year. Belt tightening included no bonuses, no
raises, no overtime. But everyone is still employed and getting 40 hours.
Complaints about it? None. Every employee has been well treated and fairly
paid for years and everyone knows business sucks right now. We shared the
good times, know we share the lean times.

Even if self employed, in order to give yourself a raise or pay yourself
overtime, the money has to be there to begin with. We don't simply raise
taxes to generate more income.

The cost of commuting, the cost of heating your home and the cost of
healthcare have all gone up. Anyone that has not had a raise in losing
ground. Given that fact, it is unconscienceable to increase taxes on the
working class right now. Government (at every level) has to do what the
citizens do. Cut spending. Sure, it may hurt, but so does turning down the
thermostat and eating beans instead of steak.

I was just kidding. I like Johnny Cash... in moderation. I liked his
cross-over music.

Let's start balancing the budget by cutting military spending.

Sensible. They did make a slight bit of progress getting rid of a jet
engine that the military did not need or want. Hurt GE a little, but helps
Pratt-Whiney and the taxpayer.

Of course, we'll be in a cold war type of situation with China soon as they
continue to build jet fighters, carrier killing missiles and submarines.
