The first 50 billion should have gone to saving teachers, policemen and firemen jobs. It is very sad. I know of many teachers getting the boot. Here in Baltimore the firehouses are being closed right and left. Good luck if you need fire and rescue. Schools in some cities and states are starting damn fund raisers to pay for teachers. Really....WTF? Where does the priority lay? Oh yeah....damn Wall Street. It is a damn shame that the city/county/state budgets are completely worthless along with the folks running the city, county and state budgets. Just last week for example, a local school was asking for an additional $70.00 from all students to pay for this years prom. Say what? A undergraduate has to pay for a graduates prom? Really?

Here is a good one for you....Maryland passed legislation to have casinos built and run. Last week the state of Maryland purchased 50 million worth of gambling machines. Really? Who's money did they use? Why tax payers money of course. WTF? Why didn't the casino owners purchase the machines. Furthermore, why are the tax payers being charged three times over and above what the actual machine is selling for?
