Do you guys realize that municipalities have funded their operation and pension plans with reams of this bad paper? The town where my mom lives is closing the local library, can't afford to fix potholes and has announced that the pension fund for retired city workers might be gone. Seriously, and each time a referendum comes up in the local election to raise local taxes all the local Republicans toe the party line and are like "All the welfare queens are getting free money!" Jesus. It's like the fucking blind. Where is the money going to come from for police, fire, sanitation? For road maintenance? And all the citizenry thing somehow that paying no taxes is ideal. Unreal. There is no sense of the Common Good anywhere anymore here. You know, you get what you pay for and that works for governments too.
