We spend more and more and more every year and the performance of our thugocracy run schools keeps going down and down and down.

Lets give it a shot!

Maybe then I wouldn’t see so many German engineered cars in our elementary and high school parking lots!

(this was all a joke…..or maybe it wasn’t…..who knows….if the state runs a school system that spends around $10K per student, and nothing changes…..what the heck is going on?)

So what you’re saying is that to be in favor of keeping the parks open I also have to be against increases in healthcare and education? Oh man…talk about a rough position to take in an argument. Isn’t there ANYTHING else we can cut?

COD and Jim – Jim is right…most of that highway money is coming from the Fed. And from what I hear, GDOT already has a 3 billion dollar deficit in terms of funds available vs. projects promised.

While these parks are closed, how about some of our convicts or better yet…some folks on welfare that are VERY able…be put to work working on path restoration, cleaning of sites, raking, whatever…I know first hand that some areas of the Appalachian trail in Georgia look like they haven’t been repaired since…well…the WPA!

thats a waste in my book, the pavement wasnt that bad at all before, now it seems the same, just blacker. I’m sure there is a reason whey they can’t do it, but I’d rather see that money go towards parks than unecessary repaving.
