When those that spend the money, do not earn the money, there is no desire to ensure that the money is spent wisely and at maximum efficiency...

Only private enterprise does that...

That is why government is a failure at everything it touches...

Government forcibly sacrifices the innocent value producer and the values that he creates in order to continue it's own existence and growth... Taking more and more values...

Government destroys where individuals create...

Government causes problems where none previously existed...

Government is antithesis of value production and happiness...

When will the sheeple start to question the essence of external authority government and what role it should play in controlling conscious life on this planet???

This is just the tip of the ice berg. You have to add in DayCare, Family's First DHS, the DOT, and the schools, especially higher ED. THere is $58M in this budget for NEEDLESS sports related items at colleges whining about budget cuts. A half a million for a golf cart crossing and a golf practice area, $19.3M for a new swimming pool for one of the colleges. $1M for a tennis court, $1M for a sports museum. $25M for a parking garage for the grizzlies. The U of Memphis is whining about cuts to research programs...they have $38M in this budget for two buildings. $16M for a performing arts center and $22M for renovations to another building. There is $1M for the country music hall of fame, over $2M for the State musuem. Over $3M for PBS who wants an additional $6.5M to go digital. (which it would take that amount to do Memphis alone (hubby did a stint as a public tv broadcast engineer an that is his opinion, especially since he deals in radio transimitter sites)

Tennessee has a SPENDING PROBLEM.

NO STATE GOVERNMENT CAN KEEP UP WITH AN ADDITIONAL $1BILLION IN NEW SPENDING A YEAR.
