sound familiar?

The Mayor and Council have NO problem charging up the credit card because its OUR credit card that WE will have to pay back, or go into bankruptcy. THEY add to their questionable legacies on the backs of the residents. Is there such a thing as a negative legacy? One that is embarrassingly wasteful and shameful in its entirety? In six months or a year they will admit that things have gone horribly wrong and blame it all on the recession, like it just snuck up on them and only then did they realize it, months after everybody else knew it. By then, of course, the change orders will have led to cost overruns that will have eaten up the 2.5 million and they will expect, like on a national level, Joe Sixpack (taxpayers) to pay for THEIR stupidities, greed, ineptitude, and criminality.

Joe pays the price

McCain has voted WITH Bush over 90% of the time over the past 8 years. We have the largest deficits in HISTORY. Republican deregulation has allowed greedy and crooked Wall Steet bankers and mortgage brokers to rob and plunder the financial system at will, with NO regulation or oversight, until it is on the verge of collapse. Do we REALLY want or need another term of Bush's policies? Can we really afford it? Same problem here in MS, where special interests feed at the public trough while Joe Sixpack loses his job and his house, resorting to multiple garage sales to keep the lights on and feed himself and his family. Joe is asked to foot the bill for repeated incredibly stupid blunders by officials at a local and national level. Billy is a staunch Republican and putting forth the Republican policy- HUGE deficits for special interests are somehow good things, for everybody but Joe Sixpack. He gets hosed- again. Still.

greed and corruption

Greedy and/or corrupt power brokers with little oversight or regulation have robbed, raped, and plundered the financial system on a national scale, leaving the taxpayers, Joe Sixpack, to bail their sorry butts out. The same thing is happening locally, just on a much less costly scale. Instead of disappearing hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on a national stage, our inept/uninformed/corrupt power brokers are merely disappearing hundreds of thousands of our hard-earned tax dollars. They too, are raising our taxes and fees to the local Joe Sixpacks to pay for their greed and corruption. We probably cant fix Washington, but we CAN fix our local problems. April is coming soon. Dont forget.
