Apparently, the California Employment Development Department is much too busy and far too important to actually make good on their promise of sending me a packet in the mail within the time they specified.<\/p>\n
Not that I’m terribly surprised…<\/p>\n
The Unemployment people are just as screwed up as the DMV. I do find myself asking why I’ve been working so hard to pay my taxes when frankly I get none of the benefits.<\/p>\n
Bad roads, terrible commutes, people whining about the “poor” (many of whom do not deserve benefits because they’re not citizens), no police coverage…<\/p>\n
Yeah you read that right. No police coverage, at minimum they’ll get to town oh… sometime… maybe…<\/p>\n
Oh course that’s if you can actually speak to someone at 911. Most of the time you get a recording to hold and I’ve personally been on hold for 10 minutes trying to report an accident.<\/p>\n
Yes all of this is about Californias budget.<\/p>\n
What I can’t understand is the philosophy in Sacramento.<\/p>\n
When I don’t have money… I DON’T SPEND MONEY!<\/p>\n
I start by cutting ALL un-necessary spending.<\/p>\n
I focus only on paying the bills and I terminate all services that I can no longer afford.<\/p>\n
So applying that logic, why the hell doesn’t the state stop pissing away money on social services that we KNOW are prone to abuse and fraud and concentrate on the core services that they’re supposed to provide?<\/p>\n
You know, Roads, Schools, Government services… oh like answering the Damn phone!<\/p>\n
I don’t care who’s responsible… Grey Davis, Arnold, Brown, they’re all the same… They’re all figure heads who were or are being castrated by a house and senate that has not adjusted to the new realities of the RECESSION!<\/p>\n
Yes I fucking said it! A RECESSION is what we’re in and you know what?<\/p>\n
The sooner these morons in Sacramento AND Washington admit it, the sooner realistic actions can be taken to get us back on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
