I wish one of these reporters would ask the President how he feels entitled to steal from the American taxpayer to pay for his campaign expenses in light of the fact that his campaign is sitting on tens of millions of dollars while a sizable percentage of Americans are watching their standards of living decline month after month.
We just got our annual healthcare enrollment information at work - Our payment for medical coverage is only going up 40% this year (the co-payment went up 150% last year), dental is going up 44% and vision is going up 101%. It makes me feel so virtuous knowing that besides taking care of and paying for my own family, I have the privilege of helping those who “have not won life’s lottery”.
The fact that my savings plan that I’ve contributed to for the last 30 years to avoid being a ward of the state has decreased after barely coming back from the big dump it took in 2007 just makes me feel all warm and tingly that I’m helping the less fortunate.
How’s that fundamental change working out so far??? Sux big time!!
School Budgets: The Worst Education Money Can Buy
Camden High School, with an enrollment of 1,200 students, has less than a 40 percent graduation rate, and the former district chief of security Thomas Hewes-Eddinger has called it a “mini-jail.” Yet the district spends $23,356 per student, more than twice the national average.
Trenton, N.J., the third most expensive district ($20,663 per student), has a 41 percent graduation rate. New York City, number seven on the most expensive list ($19,146), is at 51 percent, 26 percent lower than the national average.
