The Democratic Debate

I only caught a bit of the debate, I’ve heard the rhetoric before and figured a nap would be a better use of my time.  The few remarks I did hear spoke volumes:

  • Hillary mentioned early on that as President she would “set the rules.”  What she means is that she will decide how your money is spent and who should benefit from your hard work.
  • John Edwards was asked who he looks up to has a moral leader.  His blank stare and long period of silence spoke volumes.
  • This part was especially nauseating.  Hillary played the Walmart Card.  She mentioned that Walmart needs to be a leader and used heath care as an example.  Hello Hillary, Walmart offers $4 prescriptions to individuals.  That helps many people.  Railing against Walmart ignores the facts while pandering to popular socialist, collectivists.

Next week I will be looking forward to the Republican debate.  Not because Republicans are better, generally speaking.  But, because Ron Paul is running as a republican and is the only candidate of any party running for President who grounds his positions on sensible, fair principals and values.  You will not hear the typical political doublespeak coming from him and his record supports the fact that he is completely consistent in his actions.

The transition aid, along with huge overall increases in state education funding, should soften the blow for school districts that lose much of the per-pupil aid when children shift from public to charter schools. The $12 million in transition aid is designed to ease the impact of future student shifts, although it won’t help districts recover costs for students who already have left.

Why should public schools receive increases State Aid (your money) for educating less students?  This is nothing more than the special interests of union job protectionism at work.  We pay more taxes to support a failing institution.

Beer is back for Buffalo Sabres fans attending the team’s popular outdoor “Party in the Plaza” events at HSBC Arena during the playoff run … but there will be a three- cup limit.

It certainly didn’t take long for the Sabres organization to reverse itself.  I guess the poor turnout for yesterday’s pregame party spoke volumes.  For those of you who can handle more than 3 beers without turning into an out of control lush, take a non-drinking person of legal age with you to purchase beers 4 - 6!

Quote of the Day

The Constitution is not an instrument for government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government–lest it come to dominate our lives and our interests.
