Damm looks like were all going to hell. If you received a stimulus check from Obama, use it to buy guns and ammo. No joke. Always be prepared for the worst. Many educated liberals think this worlds problems are always going to be solved through reason. Yet that only works for those that have been in doctrinated in to believe this world is a perfect world. Reality check will come when a majority of uneducated Americans and non-native populations rise and take control of these streets through force. They are the ones that suffer all the burdens of a perfect society.

Time to start dismantling the centralization of the public school bureaucracy, and take back local control of the finances of our local schools.

Scrap that ding-danged pork barrel new firehouse and the $67,000 "art" that goes with it RIGHT NOW. Cut city administrative staff to the bone. Realign the compensation of all city workers to be compatible with private sector wages and benefits. No union contracts of any kind for civil service employees. Unions belong in the private sector.
