RE: Bupkes, Putz, and Pesach – Some comments on your typically head so far up your tuchis that you could deviate your septum from inside about why all Republicans should be bastinadoed, strapadoed, keelhauled, drawn and quartered and then fed to packs of feral dogs. In other words, more of the same.

My dear Professor,

Only a modern American Liberal, A Kool-Aid IVer, or an economic boob – the terms are interchangeable – could write the following:

“When the governor signed the bill into law,
he used the occasion to blast Charlie Crist,
his predecessor and likely Democratic opponent
in November, for having raised the fee in 2009
during the great Recession to help balance
the state’s imploding budget.”

Extending your fallacy to its Logical conclusion the way to balance a budget quicker is to drastically increase taxes and fees.

Start an income tax, install both an estate tax and an inheritance tax, make the interest on municipal bonds taxable, double the turnpike fees, tax the sunlight – today’s economic History lesson is that the above is exactly opposite of what the great Lord Keynes recommended what to do in any economic downturn. Honest. You could look it up – tax the bejeezuz out of tobacco and beer, tax Lotto winnings as “windfall income”, repeal the deduction for property taxes, tax any response from police or fire departments.

By crikey we would be in surplus in 6 weeks and we would be farting through silk in 3 months.






My Uncle Adam, who made his living as a customs agent and a moral philosopher, wrote

“What is sensible in running the affairs of a
small household can scarce be folly in
running the affairs of a great empire.”

In the unlikely event that you run into a Joe the Plumber type please ask him what people in the real world, the world “where stones are hard and water is wet”, a world with which modern American Liberal ink-stained wretches are congenitally unfamiliar, do when things go bad, when the cart goes in the ditch.

The first thing they do is cut expenses.

If you want to “balance the state’s imploding budget” you make it less onerous to do business with the state.

Here’s another life lesson that, for you, is from Mars.

If you tax something you have less of it.

Chucky Crist has a morning problem. He never knows which side of his torso to put his tie. He is a world-class serial flip-flopper that his head spins around more than the girl in “The Exorcist”.

Maybe he should wear two ties.

Plaid in front; stripes in back

Meanwhile, the happy arrival of Pesach notwithstanding, you are still a putz

PS – You mention $51,000,000,000 [that’s 51 billion] for Medicaid expansion that Florida turned down. Pray tell, but where was this money coming from? China? 50/50s? The Koch Brothers? An assortment of tooth fairies and pixies? Once a numnutz always a numnutz.
