Aren't you supposed to be at work supervising several dozen 'subordinates'? Or did you decide to take the day off to intimidate votors?
She's taking a break from managing others and attempting to manage us.
Since insulting, belittling and minimizing is her style, she fits right in to most government contracts that I've seen.

Twit... It's not that they've "spent the money" on anything other than the roads & bridges it is, by law, targeted for...It's that in a recession, and with so much unemployment, people don't drive as much...Therefore there is a huge drop in the revenues at the pump.
Jeez, do you ever read anything except FauxNews & WorldNutDaily?
I'm not a government employee... But thanks for assuming.
Of course, now it's time for everybody to start attacking LJ, instead of debating the original premise of voting for selfish amendments to the state constitution which are poorly written and will hurt the infrastructure of the state... So, you guys have a nice day...

Well, when you come in here calling everyone idiots and trying to cut everyone off at the knees you make yourself a target. Yeah - it's everyone else's fault for not seeing the real loving caring help you're trying to give by being beligerant.
Yeah, it is tiresome.
Edit: I never said you were a governmnet employee. I just rolled the dice figuring you were probably on a government contract.

"A" I understand; but not in the context of what you are attempting to respond to.
"B" Just validates your self-centered air of superiority.
And the latter half of "C" absolutely blows me away since 1) you do not know anything about me, my income or my net worth, and 2) if your income actually was three times that of mine,, b) moved to a place far from here to be with and c) been able to surround yourself with 260 low-esteem servants who you could berate and belittle at will.

Obviously you spoke to the folks who benefit from the spending now and don't give a sh** who will pay for all the borrowing going into the future. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is known as a ponzi scheme. You do it and watch how quick you will get a cell and 3 squares a day. Govt. does it and parasites applaud. Hypocrisy know no bounds.
Americans, courtesy of the likes of obamadinejad and his band of ticks have moved from a self-sufficient mentality to that of an entitled parasite.
Ok, I'll admit it. If I didn't have kids in school I might have voted for 60.
But, I do have two kids in school and I think it would be better to address administrative waste in the schools before chopping the funding out from underneath 'em.
