On the City Parks..

So…. it will take, or did take  a study of almost one hundred thousand dollars to figure out the city’s parks need better and bigger restrooms. Stronger and safer swings and rides. Many, many waste receptacles.. A large fine for littering. Posting some type of security guard during peak hours on the weekend. Large drinking fountains…Several shade pavilions.. Logical  provisions that even the dumbest person understands will make any park safer and better..BUT..we need a study for that… (please!)

But wait, lets add water spray areas…at astronomical price tags. Spray parks that will forever need maintenance..Broken valves..intentional stopping up.. They will last maybe one summer season before the city will give up in disgust. They are an open invitation for vandalism…

Boy are we being taken to the cleaners on this deal….I see no other scenario but the one I have painted…What a waste of taxpayer money that could be used for common sense improvement.

Wow, I am astounded…I think I will comission a study to find out why I feel that way.

Presidental Election

I have listened to ..or watched both debates so far.  The only  thing they have done for me is just make me sick at my stomach!  Never have I seen our country and its people so disenchanted by what is going on.

Here we have two candidates from our major political parties in essence scared to death of taking any firm positive stance on any issue what-so-ever. George Washington, Abe Lincoln and several other past presidents are spinning in their graves..And to top it off Congress and the Senate have just snatched almost a Trillion dollars out of the taxpayers pocket to pay for the mistakes of some very stupid CEO’s.. Throw money at it is their way of solving that problem. We should be mad as hell and going after the people responsible for this debacle. Instead we let our Legislators pad the 700 Billion dollar crime with absurd things like raising the FDIC limit to 250 thousand dollars for depositors.oink, oink, oink….Guess who will pay for that? YOU. 

Do you think these idiots will attempt to do anything without feathering their re-election nests? (of course they will not)

We have one candidate who is a lifelong politician. Well versed in the Washington game.Odds are he may not make it through his 4 year tenure if elected. His age is a major factor. If elected he will walk into office at least knowing what he is suppose to do. But he is no different than his opponent…

The other is a very young man with little experience under his belt and ties to some very contestable friends. (No matter how you look at it he is associated with them,…period.)

I have heard some of the most asinine reasons for him not being connected with them…

They were his friends, how in the hell do you ignore that? He associated with them. His voting record is weak at best.

One will lower taxes while the other will raise them.

One will socialize medicine while the other will go along with the present flow.

The list of pro’s and con’s for each candidate is endless…

One will increse the welfare state while the other may not..

One is for gun control, while the other is not.

One will raise the capitol gains tax, while the other may not.

All they can do is propose. Congress and the Senate in the end make the final decision, if they can get enough pig feed in the deal..

Who do I vote for??? Can anyone paint a sane picture of this campaign? I really think a lot of people think as I do.  Do ya ever get that helpless feeling, like you are in a room full of insane clowns?

Any one want to try to convince me I’m wrong??? Please!
