What is interesting is if you look at the state of California we’ve paid (as of the time I’m writing this) over 22.5 billion while Ohio has contributed 6. California didn’t vote a self-described “war president” into office, neither the time he was appointed by god’s divine hand nor the time he was elected.

I’m writing this down just for my own remembrance later. Often if there’s a question “when did we do X, or where did we go at Y?” I can search this blog to get the answer. I assume this tool will be even more useful as I age and become more naturally forgetful. Speaking of […]
Before Trump took office we’d planned to do a snorkeling escape with our snorkeling friends every February. Why February? Well if we lived in Ohio we could say it’s to get away from the cold, but it doesn’t really get that cold in Los Angeles. However, it is Chinese New Year, and that’s when Sam’s […]
Writing these is weird now. The only folks that read them are Mom, Dad, maybe Lois, and myself when I’m looking up some tidbit of info about something we did a long time ago. Sorry if anybody else reads this and thinks “hey!” – let me know! My parents came to visit for five days […]
this kind of simplistic number flim flam is typical of the left–you cannot tie a states “payment” to a specific expense. Nobody anywhere has exact numbers for the fed’s income and expenses-the only numbers that matter are the ones the individual produces through work (and no one in any government produces any real things…capital). Also, no president in history has had much of an impact on the actual state of the economy but they still beat that drum because they have a number that they can use as though it actually means something to the voters. The only way these war numbers would make sence is if you could somehow determine the actual percentage of capital production -taxed specifacally by the fed for that purpose-imposed on each capital producing worker. ipse dixit.
A typical GOP rush to judgement preemptive strike 😉 They have charts on the actual amount that you are taxed for military spending deeper in the site.
smoke and mirrors-what is is ?
Money spent on the getty center should have been spent on buying cell phones for poor kids in compton. That will make my life better in Marietta.
my thinking exactly.
if you voted for Dubya and want to contribute to his war go ahead. I didn’t vote for him, so I’d rather contribute to something I feel benefits me more.
By the way, we didn’t HAVE to go to the getty center, but we HAVE to pay taxes.
