Source: rightwingthinking.info via Robert on Pinterest On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, let it be known 40 states choose to recognize his birthday. It’s not a holiday or anything.

Forbes Magazine just ran a rather awesome, if not damning, article. I loved it. It listed the states where there are more “takers” vs “makers”.

Steve Beshear, said the administration is now gathering information on the potential impacts of the budget cuts. State Budget Director Mary Lassiter sent letters to [...]
Rod Blagojevich, among other things, was accused of pay to play with SEIU. He got ran out of the governor’s office. On September 14, 2009, Pat Quinn released this video: Quinn immediately signed an executive order allowing collective bargaining for in-home workers. Most of these workers are family who live in the home in the [...]
I get the newsletter from the Kentucky Legislative Research Commission. It’s full of all kinds of neat stuff that doesn’t make the news a whole lot. In fact, more often than not I have to just paste the text in here because no media feels like fooling with it. So far, this has been the [...]

So, needless to say, I’ve seen poverty and deal with it rather regularly. So, I took particular interest when I received this newsletter: [...]
