>> It doesn't bother you in the least that the rest of us pick up what the state of Arkansas can't afford.
You're trying to change the subject. The idea that red states are "net takers" is bullshit, but if you want to have that argument we can.
But it has NOTHING to do with incompetent management of localities which have run up massive debts due to insane commitments to employees, wild spending, and caving to public sector unions which conservatives have opposed all along. Don't come to us wanting a bailout for these major cities like Detroit, NYC, SFO, Chicago, and the rest. These are YOUR problems, YOU created, and YOU will have to deal with them.
In Arkansas we pay school teachers what they're worth, plus some. In Chicago, they pay school teachers, total compensation, 125K or better. That's ridiculous. And now that these cities can't deliver what they promised, that's their problem to deal with. We didn't make the stupid decisions. They did. |
