This follows my post from Tuesday where Republicans were taking away people's legs. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/934833/posts

Thus Republicans are denying kids the ability to hear.

 

Rubbish.  I'm far too busy kicking old people to worry about deaf kids... yet.

Man, those are some expensive hearing aids!
P.S, Barbara Streisand has that much in petty cash - go get it from her!

On a positive note, at least they would not be able to hear the Democ-RATS yammering. Might even be a blessing.

Are the Republicans running California?

Oh Lord.

One of my daughter's teacher's about flipped when i told him I was a conservative. He LITERALY fumbled the sheaf of papers he was holding. "But...... but..... you CAN'T be! You're so NICE! You don't mean SOCIALLY, do you? "

He was REALLY rattled.

I about hurt myself laughing at the poor young man, and I told him that not every conservative was Simon La Gree You guys will have to excuse me. I need to go shut down an orphange aand take away Social Security.

Lol...what the 38 BILLION dollar deficit isn't high enough? I feel sorry for Califonians....uh, wait. No I don't. :-D

So, now they can't hear as they go through our liberal schools. What exactly is the problem? Maybe those mean Republicans can ban all hearing aids from school and only allow them for private use (not on school grounds).

Would someone like to explain to me why I have to buy my own children's needs and then are forced to give to other people's children through my taxes? I don't mind giving to others, I do all the time, but why can't the parents of these children take some responsibility.
My neighbor has a child who is very handicapped. They do not take anything from the government (eventhough this child is eligible for many programs). Their insurance covers 80% of things like orthodics and wheelchairs. They pay the other 20% out of pocket. Given a choice, I would rather give my neighbor my portion of tax and screw those lazy-a$$ parents who look to the government for everything.

[Lunatic Fringe]

It's simple... ALL programs should be cut, because governments have gone far beyond their requirements. Leave things like hearing aids and wheelchairs and soup kitchens to real charities, who are far more frugal and efficient with donations.

What's she complaining about; we're not taking away blind kids' canes, are we???

[ElkGroveDan]

I should clear up here for those who have decided to speak on the virtues of hearing aids for kids.

There is NO Republican plan to abolish hearing aids. There is a Republican proposal for 7% in across-the-board state spending cuts. Some Dmeocrat noticed that 7% of some program was equivalent tot eh amount spent on hearing aids for kids and decided to leap to the conclusion that they would there for be lined out.

That would be like me telling my wife we need to cut 2% of family expenses. If she was a legislative Democrat she would notice that 2% of the family income was spent on milk. She could then go to her friends and declare that I wanted to eliminate milk from the family budget.

THAT my friends is how they come up with their conclusions that we want to take away people's legs and ears...

[ElkGroveDan]

We are all dying to know, what happened to scottfanetti? Surely he wasn't banned for disagreeing with us?

[CyberAnt]

Maybe the budget cuts could just begin with Senator Debra Bowen's (D-Redondo Beach) office - Hmmmmm??

In fact ... I think all the state reps and senators should start the budget cuts in their own offices first.
