The Prop...

I dunno, Thursdays are beginning to feel a lot like Fridays.....which makes Friday feel like Saturday 'n Saturday feels like Sunday.....'n two Sundays every week is just plain unAmerican......
It’s all, of course, pegged to the ‘furlough Fridays’ imposed on most (not all) California State workers by our ebullient Governor......who, it appears, is the victim of that old Harry S Truman dictum, “The buck stops here!”......Which it does. Arnie acted with the limited power that he has ‘n furloughed a lot of people thereby saving the State money.....Actually, it’s a lot like a 15% tax on State workers so that the Legislature can continue supporting their special interest groups that keep them in office.....but, y’all knew that, didn’t you?
All part of The Big Lie......’n right at the moment, it’s the liberal elite that is responsible for most of the Big Lies that are repeated ad infinitum, ad nauseum in all the media......like ‘The Prop!’ as Proposition is currently being called.....seems that the liberal elite is concerned that Californias schools are scraping the bottom of the barrel ‘n it’s all the fault of ‘The Prop’ for taking money from the schools.....it doesn’t matter that it is totally untrue....the theory goes that if you repeat ‘The Big Lie’ loud enough ‘n often enough, the majority of the population will believe it ‘n the vote for repeal of what has been the saviour of the California homeowner.....
Now, the really harsh truth of the problem with the California school system is not a lack of funding..... fahcrissakes, Proposition 98 has funneled tons of money into the system....’n I’m not saying that California teachers are overpaid.....the fact is that the majority of them are underpaid ‘n the schoolrooms are overcrowded ‘n there’s a horrible lack of supplies....I’ve met too many teachers who buy supplies for their students out of their own money....Nah! The problem is that age old one of too many Chiefs ‘n not enough Indians.....bureaucracy in action......oh, ‘n one of the Big Lies is that California schools use’ta be really good, a benchmark for other states to aspire to.....Nope! Never were. If you were educated in California public schools prior to ‘The Prop’...you got yourself a sub-standard education.... almost every state in the Union was better.....’n the funny thing, California schools have done better since the inception of Proposition 13.....as a matter of fact, the State as a whole has done better, collected more tax money ‘n made for a more stable environment for home-owners......’n from what I’ve seen in other States, ‘The Prop’ should be a model for the rest of the country....
Which in a really sad way, we are....our economic policy which has the State teetering precariously on bankruptcy seems to have become a model for the federal government.....God help us all!....oops! That’s politically incorrect these days...Sorry!
