Working cheaper, not smart

Gov. Walker ran on a platform of cutting waste. That's a good thing. Sorta.  Except when you cut things just to cut things.

The current way Wisconsin is run is that you tighten things up regardless of what harm is done. They have screwed up how agencies order things.  For greater control. However, if you have dedicate, comptetent people, you do not have to worry about waste. Yes there are bad apples in every organization, but I doubt you really stop them.

Who you stop is those that want to make progress in their goals. Again, some oversight is good because it makes people answer questions- there are checks and balances.

More importantly though, too much power just makes the people in charge corrupt.  i suspect that the extra control is to give contracts to friends. 

Meanwhile those not in politics but work for the government, have their times wasted by the extra bureaucracy that has been in place to replace bureaucracy.

Sorry short-sighted dimwits, it takes money to do things.  You may as well use enough to accomplish things instead of cutting costs and achieving nothing.

I agree with the conservatives.  Let’s go back to the fifties. Where companies paid a enough for one income to support a family.  Your boss had a nicer house, but not his own island.

Unless you’ve offered a welfare person a job with benefits, you can’t judge them for living off the system.


There will be a new regime in religion.  Just as the jewish faith had corruption and people go away fromt he values and jesus came in to renew people and advance people to a better way, there will be a new religion.  There were the moneychangers and the priests that kept people in line and they stayed above common people, there will be a CHANGE.  tHE PEOPle that use bible to judge and condemn and allow themselves to make new wealth at the expense of the poor will be turned out and a finger will be pointed at them.. perhaps it will be a new messiah that metaphorically overturns their tables.



Health care may be like roundabouts.  Anyone will tell you that they seemed like they would not work, cause havoc, and be downright dangerous.  We suspected that we were trying to copy something from some hippie country like France or California that was not going to work for us. Yet, now that there are here, we have found that they work.  They reorganized how we did intersections for the better.  Of course, like roundabouts, stupid people may put the rest of in danger.

Abortion is Guns

Abortion is Guns

Why is the NRA rabid about making sure no gun laws get enacted? They do not even a small one because they are afraid of the ability to carry a gun to slowly be hampered. Like smoking. Little reasonable requests until it is almost banned.

So believing abortion is wrong is reasonable. It understandable. However, prochoice people fight hard against it because they want control over their bodies. They feel they have to fight to protect their rights and I did not understand this until our current conservatives have come into play. They have clearly shown that they do not want to end abortion. They want to take control over women’s bodies. Their proposals and rhetoric have gone far beyond abortion.

Todd Akins has talked about legitimate rape. They want to enforce invasive ultrasounds because they already consented to penetration. Except now it would not be consensual. They want to be able to tell women no to contraceptives- we’ll tell you when you can get pregnant.

If their small requests weren’t so stupid, they would begin with those. They would define who was raped and which women are good and which women are bad and should be scorned. Instead they begin with one that people are passionate about and if they get abortion illegal, then they will throw in more measures to control women.
