Governor has new job application for a funding person. House Speaker Stumbo would not considor it. Too confining.

Dear Governor,

Times sure are tough, right? I can tell you from personal experience that is true. It has been reported to me you are in need of a financial expert for some kind of miracle in Kentucky. That is my specialty, I work miracles!!!

Last time out, I raised billions. If you need some original ideas, no if you need any ideas on how to improve revenue, please, I would be pleased to work for you.

Sincerely,

Bernie Mad,
North Carolina Inmate

Beshear must have extended gambling before he runs in 2010. At this time is rather apparent that voo doo economics do not work. Where is the state goiing to get that stimulus money used to balance the budget. There are too many PETER and PAULS in this budget. May Beshear should call in , whats his name, BERNIE MADOFF. This guy is KING of money schemes. Maybe he can find the extra millkons we need. Oh, forgot, this chisler is in the Country Club Jail in North Carolina.

IMO there exist to MIRACLE FOR REVENUE. TAX REFORM is the ONLY alternative. Beshear won’t do that, think he will loose votes. What say, . . .?

I’m sure a number of you believe that reducing state government (AKA take it to zero) will resolve the problem, we’ll play the 6-seperations game and I bet your paycheck is funded directly or indirectly by state funded/private enterprise partnerships (AKA state pays for private services)…

We keep cutting state government like we have for the past 4 years and today is what you get… Quit putting money in the elite few who DO NOT spend money like middle and definitely lower incomes…

Wake up!!!

This state deserves our current agricultural commissioner. But who will tell him that he needs to live in Frankfort and he has to go to work every day? Bummer, Dude!

Remember this when Medicaid starts having shortages later in the year, and the poor and disabled have to suffer. Also remember this during the next election!

If I can transfer my American Express balance to my Visa card I’ll have a balanced budget this month too. I wonder if I can transfer them back the next month and just keep on keeping on?

We MUST have comprehensive tax reform!!! The poor in this state pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than the wealthy and until we address this issue, the problems will never go away. Moving money (aka shell games) are not going to solve problems. The day of reckoning is here and if Beshear isn’t careful, he is going to pave the way for Richie to move right into the mansion – Lord help us all! Please – leaders in charge – grow a spine and deal with these issues head on!
