PRIORITIES ALL WRONG
Yesterday's WHT announced proposed school closings. Each school closed
"saved" $400,000 in the budget.
Let's see, $400,000 that's one and a half minutes of the War in Iraq.
It's less than a day for the War on Drugs. It's 1/4,000,000 (yes one
four millionth) of the bailout, and its 1/20 of the average CEO golden
parachute.
I'd say "we the people" need to speak out for a change of priorities
or the next generation won't be able to do this math.
