I certainly know that there are 'good' people on welfare. There are working families, just like you said Turtle. I just don't see the point in any of it. It has seemed to cause conflict in many state offices where one may make more than another, simply because of experience. Anyone that has read anything I've commented on before, knows that I am for Welfare Reform. I personally know and have family members on assistance from the government. They, to have jobs, but cannot seem to make ends meet. There are also the families that abuse the system, and know exactly how to 'work' the system. If anyone doesn't think it happens, you are wrong. In my line of work, I see it every single day. If anyone doesn't think that there are people that wait on their 'check' (ranging in age from 20-30--perfectly able to work) to blow and have no intentions to work, you are wrong. This is what needs to be reformed. Do I want to 'blow off' about my tax money going to sorriness, yes I do. I love my job, I don't complain about the work, but it is sad to see women coming in my office with their nails newly manicured, dressed to the 9's, toes done, perfectly done hair, but collecting a check every month to 'help' their children. Did this website give me any insight as to where the tax dollars are going...No, it didn't. I see where the money goes on a daily basis. And, I know that tax money pays my salary. I'm not a dummy??? I'm just aggrivated and I feel like this is an invasion of privacy. My point was, why do this to the working folks...if they are going to tell everyone what our part of the budget is, then tell it all. Show us the big money...show us what the elected officials are making.
Do I REALLY think that a welfare recipients name & how long they've been on welfare will be posted...heck no! That would be....hmmmmm....a violation of their privacy.

WDM...I have no idea what you are talking about when you said you wouldn't respond to me??? I very rarely even comment on anything??? And, did you see the 'wink' at the end of my comment...I wasn't trying to be ugly to you at all! Believe me, I've see the big salary recipients...it's all a joke to me. I think you took everything I said to be directed at you. I was simply stating the obvious~ BTW...I've never taken a drug test either, I can assure you I would pass it, just like yourself.

I think this is a crappy attempt to make everyone think there is a such thing as 'honest government'...."look at us, we are an open book...see how pathetically we pay some employees". I think we just had a big fat elephant take stance over us and drop a load!

WDM...you should also notice how 'little' some of us make ;). In my opinion, if our salaries are going to published, then we should also see the salaries of the elected officials (Governor, legislators, etc...). If anyone wants to look at my salary, go ahead~ whatever floats your boat. BUT if you are going to publish what working people make per pay period, then I would personally like to see welfare recipients names and how long they have been on welfare. It's like this (in my opinion)....if I have to take a drug test to work everyday to give you my tax money, then I want to know who you are, and I also want you to pass a drug test to be able to get my money. This is ridiculous. I'm not sure about some state offices, but I can assure you that I bust my tail every single day, usually non-stop, and I deserve every single penny that I get...and more, considering we haven't had raises in 2 years.

Did it occur??? Yes, of course! I think everyone is sick of it. Every news channel tells us different....I watch one and hear about how nationalized healthcare is going to be terrible....I watch another and am told how great it will be and how it will not effect tax money, etc... What if neither are right, what if both are wrong. Where does that leave us? People better start asking questions of every elected congressman and demand answers....they need to quit all this beating around the bush.

I hate to tell you blue, but there is about to be an uprising of individuals that love this country, so I wouldn't count your chickens before they hatch! You are only a few months in right now, you have 3 years to go...I'm sure a lot can happen between now & then.

No one is 'CHOSEN' to join. This is open to the public....anyone. Just call and ask for a form and pay the dues. I'm gonna give you a respone to some of these, in my own opinion. "Overwhelmingly voted" question....well, I have a lot of opinions on this. He speaks very well, he seemed to be the change that everyone was looking for, ACORN, I could give you lots of reasons---but, I think that he has proven not to be everything he was hoped to be. Hence, approval ratings. I recently watched an interview of one of his delegates from the election that raised a substantial amount of money for him...she had attended a tea party and was speaking as to all that has gone on since his election, calling it (government socialism) nothing more than modern day slavery. Very strong statement from a delegate and fund-raiser. 'What does Republican Party offer?'...My view is this, which is no more than how I feel. I am proud to be American. I love this country, I respect the ideals upon which it was founded, I think we need border control; I think there should be individual responsibility when it comes to providing for your children, working, and paying taxes; we need welfare reform; Cap & Trade....no way; Nationalized healthcare...no way. In his short presidency, the deficit has almost doubled what it was! All of these bailouts are ridiculous. I am Pro-Life. Now, that's just a few of my thoughts...which party do u think suits me best? You, please tell me how the most liberal-voting senator in American history was chosen as President. I think people wanted a change...boy, did we get it!

Thanks regis! I'm sure that wasn't satisfying enough, though.

With the ideals of the Republican Party, I'm not surprised there isn't more.....is anyone else?

Maybe they had lunch together after he was employeed as Asst. D.A. and he thought that a member of the 'office staff' (which is all female) was leaving. I don't think that Tom meant, at all, that Ms. Harrison was leaving, from what I read.
