Let’s see. If the Liberals get control of states and drive them into bankruptcy. ie no police departments no fire stations no government offices, what might be the solution to that. Maybe the state government will have to assume complete control of everything. By the way, surrender all your arms.

The Dems were counting on a President Hillary, who would have ordered the printing of as much money as it took to bail out the states, just as a decade ago we bailed out the banks.

They are terrified of what Trump may do, or refuse to do, if things come to a head during his Administration.

“I’ve heard that the total value of all the houses in America is about $30 trillion.”

Think of all the rental income (eg real estate taxes aka vigorish) the criminal governments get from that.

this is what i told a guy i know(county union worker) awhile back, he was not pleased… I Don’t Care.

When you extorted your unjustifiable contracts, you didn’t care about the Taxpayers that will be forced to pay for your salary and benefits that is more, and better, than theirs, no…

You said: Either give me what I want, or I will hurt you.
I will GO ON STRIKE and I WILL HURT YOU!!!

NOT, If you don’t give me what I want, I will quit, and get a different job… NO!

It was, GIVE ME WHAT I WANT OR I WILL HURT YOU!!!

You were told over, and over, and over again, through the years, and extorted contracts, that it was unsustainable.

But YOU didn’t listen, and YOU didn’t care.

And the local government said OK, because there was nothing they could do, And, knowing it would be somebody else’s problem down the road, well...

Well, guess what?

It’s down the road, and now… it’s YOUR problem!!!
The trough is empty, and the teat is dry.

Can you hear ME now???

You were all fat dumb and happy as long as your snout was in the PublicTrough up past your eyeballs,

but now…

Now… that the food level has dropped below Your eyes, even YOU can see the writing on the wall as well as the rest of us.

There WILL be reduced benefits to be sure, if not outright eliminations…

And guess what???

I, DON’T, CARE!!!

Save yourself, stay away
I live here, and I’m an asshole.

I'm planning to move to E. Tennessee next July. I've been living in Massachusetts for some 45 years.

So I guess I'm going to move up the ladder from Masshole to asshole.

(I'm a patriot too.)
