Republican Party Sees How Far They Can Push The Limits

link to Gird Your Loins, Cuts, Cuts, and More Cuts are Coming!


The Burnt Orange Report makes a very good point with this Republican party that Texas has going on right now.  They say that we will have to throw some people out in the street” if they stay on the track that their on.  If this is the plan that they are sticking with and they have to take action such as that like The Burnt Orange Report says, they don’t have to say it so “blantantly”.  They have a great plan, according to them, and everything is going to work out great getting us out, but where is the plan that shows us where we’re going to get that extra 60% that were getting back from the Federal Government for all the Medicare and Medicade that we’re getting as a state right now.  According to the Burnt Orange Report, Texas is already 25 BILLION dollars short.  Can we only imagine what’s going to happen when they decide to put their plan into action and we’re not getting that 60% back from the federal government that we desperately need as a state?  The only thing that this plan is going to do is get Texas into more trouble financially.  I completley agree with The Burnt Orange Report that this is all a “lie” and that all the plan is good for is it   fully intends to throw as many people into the streets as possible with a slash and burn approach to governing that has no mercy.”  This plan is not ok to go through with and it needs to be stopped before it is completely in full position. The Republican party has lost its mind with the plan.

Relations to Reanna's Post about "City Jails Unregulated"

Reanna's Blog about "City Jails Unregulated"
This is a scary matter when you see how uncontrolled the city jails are being runned. It may seem that they are being watched and taken care of but as it states in Reanna's blog that "up to 40% of deaths in city jails are suiside." Like Reanna says, how can these people really be treated great and always taken care of that they have such a horrible life that 40% of deaths are suiside in a city jail. I can also say that I may disagree with Reanna a little on when she says that if the city jails are not being taken care of properly that they should not even be here. Although most people that are there are only there for short periods of time where would they be if they had no punishment? So I do have to say that we need the systems running  but it seems to me that most people are clearly not being taken care of properly. They say that it  is expensive to inspect the city jails but maybe they need to be check every few years so that they MUST keep up with standereds. If  they inspect these city jails and they are up to standards then the suiside rate should majorly go down. They city jail inspection could make things a lot better for a lot of people if we just took care of the jail and they people that are in them.
