Pols, look to own salaries, pensions
Isn't it curious that our politicians never touch on what is really bankrupting our country/state? They have to look no farther than their own salaries and pension plans. Isn't it amazing how it never enters their minds to correct the real problem?
Their solution to the budget problem? Cut school funding (they would rather deprive our children than give up their extravagant lifestyles). They will also raise taxes and cut services rather than search their souls for answers to the true problem. Even worse - we accept it.
