“The rich get rich ‘n the poor get......”
well, shafted is purty much what the poor get in good times or bad, but seems like in bad times, there’s more of a celebration about it....f’r example, in t’days Bee, there’s a headline reading, ‘Pay raises urged for city leaders’......ain’t it amazing how public servants seem to get served at the expense of the people they’re s’pozed t’be serving......or is it just me?
Governor Arnie sed that a ten percent across the board cut would solve California’s budget problem.... Sacramento county has taken a twenty percent cut in many departments and seems like it has made our local, home-grown budget problems worse....but not so bad that we can’t afford to give some of our more bloated ‘servants’ a four percent raise....City manager, Ray Kerridge, sez he’ll forego his raise until January... WOW! We pay him over 200K a year. Ain’t it amazing that he empathizes so much with the people he serves that he can postpone his much deserved (?) raise....Heck! I’m retired and draw SS ‘n I believe that I can let my raise go until January.....Whoops! I forgot for a moment. I ain’t gonna get a four percent raise, at least prob’ly not in my lifetime.....I c’n just visualize Ray Kerridge at a fabulous New Years party raising a glass of champagne (hopefully Californian) to toast the ‘continuing prosperity of Animal Farm.’
