With all the taxes, rampant inflation and pushes to cause even more small business failures, I say, why wait until next year? Washington should start fresh during their new session in 2014! When you are a vape fan and want the best vape out there, buy vaporizer pens here now.
Our Federal Government, despite claiming to care, doesn’t mind making sweeping changes and regulations which are destroying small businesses in this country.
When you hear that phrase, ummm … Run.
Is it any wonder I voted for Mickey Mouse?
This is a spin-off of an old e-mail that recently made its way back in my direction.
Many people in this country have a job. They receive payment for the work they do. Then the government steps in a collects a portion of the proceeds they receive. The government distributes this payment as they see fit.
In order to get this paycheck, they submit a random urine test to their respective employer. This is should not be an issue for any law abiding citizen.
In reality what any citizen of this country should be concerned about are the people who receive a welfare check. Welfare recipients do not have to pass a random urine test. Since our government is supposed to be a system of checks and balances, why is there room for this discrepancy?
For the most part, United States citizens are quite giving with their money and don’t have a problem doing their part. It should be no problem for the populous to help a few people back on their feet.
On the other hand, there is a problem with the people that receive this money who choose to sit around, be unproductive and/or use drugs. There are several ways to fight drug addiction, visit this article Michigan Finds Fentanyl Involved In Over Half Of Major County’s Accidental Overdose Deaths and learn more! If they have enough money to indulge in these activities, they do not need any monetary assistance.
The only thing not covered, is who pays for the testing? Why not have it applied against the balance of the money the recipients of the welfare system receive. Surely they shouldn’t mind since they are on the receiving end of the bread line anyway.
Just think, with that money saved maybe we could funnel it into education. Maybe we could balance the budget? Who knows? The possibilities are endless, and perhaps you could employ the people who failed to administer the testing. Then they wouldn’t have a need for the assistance in the first place.
The truth be told, this system is outdated. It was a necessary evil at the time when it was enacted; however legislation is subject to change in order to fit the demands of the present day. Something needs to be done. It is only a matter of time till we will make a stand and take action. Why not make it happen today.
Off a bridge, that is.
Not to sound unsympathetic to the horrible disaster which unfolded Wednesday on I-35W in Minneapolis, but it’s our government who allowed it to happen. Maybe once enough people plumet to their death in horrific accidents, somebody who is somebody might decide to put more money where it needs to be: HERE IN THE U.S., not every-damn-where else.
Nationwide, there are more than 70,000 that could crumble like humpty dumpty and have a great fall. A story posted on AOL today states that Tennessee’s bridges DO NOT make it into a list of bridges likely to go down anytime soon. So, maybe its true. Maybe it’s not.
I decided that this whole situation scares the crap out of me. So, I started looking into the bridges in Tennessee that are, according to our officials at DOT, structurally deficient.
These guys tell us that of all the bridges, both “on system” and “off system” that are in structurally deficient number more than 1,000. More than 1,000!!! Of course, the bridges are not listed here, but I’m sure it wouldn’t be too terribly hard to find out if any of these 1,000 are bridges we take for granted every single day.
I found this quote from a TDOT official from NewsChannel5 in Nashville…
TDOT said about four percent of the state’s 8,000 highway and state road bridges are what they call “structurally deficient,” which means they have some structural problems. TDOT said those problems do not compromise the safety of those bridges.
They can call it what they want. I still think federal funds should be piped into each state for bridge and road upkeep, rather than all over the world.
Think about it…Henley Street? Gay Street? The big one on Pellissippi Pkwy? I-40? Edgemore to/from Oak Ridge? Not to mention any number of smaller bridges.
Good luck out there people. Watch out for them hateful northern drivers from states that start with “I” and have falling bridges.
