AWAKE the State Rally MARCH 8th Throughout Florida!

[CampCreekLou]

No. I am a semi-retired design consultant for the Marriott Corp. "Us" is a term for us forward thinking and leaning Panhandle folks who want to support the state workers in the dying middle class!

I love it--the 60's protest movement is back!

Thanks for the clarification.

BTW - the movement in Wisconsin is pro-worker too, so we're all in this together. They are paying a lot of taxes and are interested in living in a solvent state.

God save and bless America's dying middle class!

Nice series of shots of the protesters and the opening legislative session.

Not for any legitimate reason. :roll: Hysteria and market manipulation, not any ACTUAL supply issues.

Oh, definitely agree.

That, I think, is going to become the norm Andy because folks like our Governor Rick Scott (whom I am thinking you may have voted for --but, I could be wrong!) believes more in the power of Big Oil than in modern solution to our nations transporatation woes.

Feel free to check my blog for the links to the budget for this upcoming year. Rick Scott proclaims budget cuts across the board for everyone, while he adds 91 new jobs to his staff and a little more to the lottery fund (i'm scarcastically believing that the lottery needs it more than our little children). I am sick of this.
Hear that the cuts were made to EVEN START yesterday. Now those parents who dropped out of school cannot go to school to get a free GED while someone watches their little one. I woner what will happen to those kids, because obviously those parents are going to have to have jobs to feed them.....as those funds got cut too. my blog In The 45th Year Of Life

Did you notice the growth in that graph? Our social services, education system, and general government spending growth haven't been getting squeezed over the last eight years. Especially education spending which has seen dramtic increases over the last four years under Charlie Crist. I'm sure the system has slack that can be reeled in without bringing the poor starving masses to their knees.

how many teachers pay raises in the last 5 years??

None AFAIK. But considering how much they make I don't think they can complain. A lot of folks aren't getting raises or worse getting laid off. If you have a job enjoy it and remember once the good times are back again and we have surpluses the perks will follow.
