There Is A Time To Be Angry.

  Much is being made in the news about Illinois,  State Representative,  Mike Bost,  recent out burst as he was faced with the task of voting for some type of pension reform for the state of Illinois and this latest bill had just been put on his desk by  the the Illinois , Speaker of the House,  about twenty minutes before a vote wold be taken and he would not even get a real chance to read it let alone see that the bill was properly vetted. I suppose it's not always wise to loose your composure when one finds him or her self in the political arena. I do feel however there is a time to be angry. Bost, like many in various states today must find a way to cut his state's pension program  in an attempt to try and balance Illinois,  budget and no mater what choice he makes,  some of his constituents won't be happy. He is faced then, with Lincoln's acknowledgement that no one person,  can please all of the people, all of the time.
  Many other states,  face budget short falls for fiscal year 2012 here is a list of some of the most critical states and what the dollar short fall will be by the end of fiscal year 2012. Florida and Oregon both will have a budget short fall of 2,500.00 dollars.California, will have a 21,300.00 dollar short fall.Ohio and North Carolina,  both face a3,000.00 dollar short fall and for all it's many jobs, Texas,  too faces a 10,000.00 dollar short fall. New York,  has a short fall of  8,200.00 dollars.New Jersey, has a budget short fall of some17,000.00 dollars Connecticut, must deal with a short fall of3,800.00 dollars Minnesota's short fall is 3,800.00 dollars  and finally,  there is Illinois,  there budget short fall is just a mere 17,000.00 dollars. I think I can understand why Illinois, Representative Bost is a bit up set. Keep in mind state law require each state to balance there budget and the states can't just print more money like the federal government does. The result is each of these states will ask the federal government to help them balance there budget and that will just add more to the nation's nearly sixteen trillion dollar debt. I think somebody,  in this nations government better wake up and get angry enough to demand a balanced budget amendment and they better do it soon otherwise there will be nothing left for anyone to get angry about. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words to think on.
