10 second Explanation of California’s Budget Problems:
1998 State Budget: $56 billion
2008 State Budget: $131 billion
It’s not a revenue shortfall, it’s spending madness!
For the folks on the other side, here’s your link:
The teachers could all be hired back if the unions would agree to take a small pay cut . We all pay enough in taxes. The state as well as its citizens need to stop spending more then they make.
I am waiting for the Latino colition to go after John HARD.
Tease his kids at school, chase his fat wife down, call Ken a fag, and absolutely give these guys a taste of thier own medicine.
For, they are disingenuous at best, profiting off the Illegal Imigrant more than the actual illegal immigrant.
Perhaps the “La Raza’s” that they bitch about are more civilized then they are and for that reason don’t go after them.
But, a great short story appeared recently about a vocal talk radio host, who’s kid needed a kidney (or liver) and the only one availible was that of a…………MEXICAN.
What then.
these guys with the mouthpiece, stir up the stuff but do little to fix it. In this case, these two are largely responsible for the problem.
Dr. Moshi Chu, once said “the less you say, the more people listen”. Dr. Chu never met the modern GOP.
wow go after his kids that is harsh and classless not a shocker coming from this community.
Do you think South of the Border will give us AMericans the couresy we give the illigal aliens here in the US. Yes, they are a complete drain on our socieity. They are uneducated and illiterate. We need to have to have a systematic workers visa where they come in to do farming.
Look at our prisons. Most are filled with Latino gang bangers. Crime rate is record high in their society. IN short there is nothing to be achieved. Most of the elected officials in administrations turn out to be crooks. It will be daath to America if we don’t take of this influx of uneducated masses. THerre is nothing to be gained from this immigration which has no academia culture. Even thouigh English is so closely related to Spanish yet they can’t speak it!!!
I ran the “tax calculator”, Jill … that was cool. Have you checked it for accuracy? I discovered it pays big, taxwise, for me and my wife (a teacher) to drive clunkers. But I’ve question for the teabaggers. How big an average salary cut do you think California teachers should take ($1,000? $5,000? $10,000?) so other citizens can save a couple hundred bucks?
Hey, Big Mark! Gimmee some numbers; you said we’re overpaid. What’s a calculus teacher worth … annual salary? How ’bout a physics teacher to prep engineering majors. Chem teachers, so some our kids can go on and do what Art does today. How about a UCLA econ grad teaching A.P. Economics (we have young one, got rif’d, and hopin’ hard he get’s un-riffed). What’s he worth, Big Mark?
Sorry for the bad grammar,
I was being bashed by the Southwest flight attendant to shut down. I did’nt proof read. My daughter will beat any of you to the bash.
Tease his kids? What kind of person are you, oh I know you’re a liberal! Corrupt, nasty, evil, dishonest. Why don’t we tease your kids, how would you like that. Hey I have a great idea, if you don’t like what they’re saying, Don’t listen!!! Dosen’t take a brain surgeon.
Mr Duplojohn,
No latina group would go after john and ken, because it would draw a big spot light on the latin illegal immigrant,s and why Americans are so angery that they countinue to expect any rights here in the us when infact they have no right to be here. Thousands Mr. Duplojohn are waiting in line to get in to this country. Why sir should people wait year’s to enter this country, when all they need to do is become Mexican citizens, claim poverty and live off the American Tax payer.
The end is near Sir. for groups like La Raza( which mean’s the race.)minipulating the American people into believing that because you do not want thousands of Mexican naionlists bleeding the medical system dry and sending their children to american schools speaking a foreign language when the language of the country is English that it is racism.
The bottom line is alot of people are profiting off illegal immigrantion: Small businiess that pay illegal immigrants dirt wage’s, because they can, hospital’s and clinics like Choc and Coalition of community clinics making a hugh profit off medical and all types of Non-profit groups.
If all these groups really cared for the Mexican cause they would be down in mexico, protesting the mexican government to use the hugh profits they make on oil to go toward developing a stable ecomony therefore Mexican nationalists would not need to leave their homes and family to go to a foregin nation.
La raza and group,s as such do not go after Amercian citizens in a personal arena, they use lawyers and lobbyist to distort law’s.
Use your head sir, why have you not seen any Mexican activist group demanding that mexican parents get more involved with their children education and help end the rediculous drop out rate of latin children.
Have you ever wondered why so many schools that have a majority of latin children are title one schools. Are we to believe that the majority of latin chldren can’t learn, or is it that the district makes alot of money keeping mexican children in ESL??
Thank you Michelle; I couldn’t say it better, these latin organizations don’t give rat about the illegal immigrants or legal ones as matter of fact. They want us to believe, that they care; i am sick and tire of these groups. illegal aliens need to go home and protest their governments, and demand from them what they are demanding from us (for which they do not have any right)
Michelle,
I don’t know.
I am stunned that they have’nt yet targeted them yet.
As for the “spotlight” there seems to be no qualms about lobbying congress, the California state government and local communities, why do these guys get off the hook?
As for the Education arguement, I spent far too any hours studiying the ADA and income of inner city schools to argue here.
I think in a wierd way you made my point for me Michelle.
The point that i made. “La Raza has no real power, when it comes to one on one with American Citizen’s”.
Illegal immigration is clearly unfair for immigrants that want to come to this country legally.
Illegal immigrants have no rights in this country a foregin nation.
The American people cannot and should not have to be burdened with Mexico and its poor. The Mexican government and elite in Mexico need to take responsiblity for their own people “It is clearly very simple”!!
SAHS teacher,
“A teacher’s worth is in the quality of their teaching”!
SASD really need to evaluate the quailty of their teacher’s and the envolvement of the parents and start clearing house.
” I wish i could have a bet with the SASD. Give me a month in a class with the worst kids and see if they do better”!!
Michelle, NEVER mentions the 50,000 ILLEGAL IRISH IMMIGRANTS that are in this country. What about the dirty, rotten Irish government, shipping their dregs to our country. Most of them are LAZY DRUNKS looking for jobs in the public sector, they are corrupt thieves, ruining America’s institutions, just to get big fat pensions. Why can’t these bums make it in their own country?
Beware Michelle, first it’s illegal immigrants, next it will be any one NOT BORN in this country, and wouldn’t that include you, you Irish scumbag, GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!!!!!! We have our OWN people that need jobs, WE ARE SICK OF IRISH IMMIGRANTS!!!!!! Just because you already spoke english, you think you are better than the Mexicans, let me ask you, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR STUPID ACCENT????
The American people cannot and should not be burdened with Ireland and it’s poor. The Irish government and elite in Ireland need to take responsibility for their own people “It is clearly very simple!”
Gosh, it’s easy and fun to be a hater. Who knew?
The truth bothers you anonster!!
Illegal is Illegal where ever they come from!!
which are you the one that pockets from illegal immigration or are you the one that pockets from Americans!!
I am sorry go to any social welfare office in any part of this country, i bet you will not find many irish people getting WIC!!
And the only hater i see is you, i think the Mexican accent is very pretty!!
And i am an American Citizen, you see i did what was right stood in line and got my green card
and worked for everything i have;)
I wonder would you call me an Irish Scumbag infront of my face, i bet not you are just a bullie behind a computer!!
Just a little history lesson for you anonster: In mexico their is a statue of the Irish men that defended mexico from the spanish invasion!!
Who do you think runs mexico today and who are the elite??
NOT THE NATIVES!!
Michelle Quinn, really I was just making a point about GROSS generalizations resulting in ugly racist rants. I don’t think you’re an “Irish scumbag” and I actually think you could make some good points, EXCEPT you mix it up with so much venom, no one can take you seriously.
By the way, before you take up “teaching” you might brush up on your grammar and spelling, ‘cuz the kiddies need to learn something along with their beatings.
That’s the spirit, Michelle! Most OJbloggers just rant and walk away. Do you really want a month with a class of the “worst kids”? Let me suggest 9th grade algebra 1. The classes tend to be huge, about 40, most 9th graders are still really immature with immature behavior, and there will be a number of older disruptive knuckleheads assigned to retake the class that they failed the previous year.
We’ll need long-term math subs next year; We don’t have enough teachers qualified to teach math. Those with actual math degrees are needed for algegra 2, statistics, calculus and trig. We need subs for algebra 1. Some of them sign up for a full semester and quit after 2-3 days. We’ve had algebra 1 classes that have had over 15 different teachers through a year. The subs keep quitting. But your Irish, huh? and the Irish know how to deal with hardship, so get yourself down to the HR office at SAUSD on Chestnut and Grand, get your application in, and show us how its done.
As an aside,
A few years ago I got Laser Eye surgery, I mentioned to my surgeon that I’d be vactioning in Mexico City.
She replied she was from Cuernavaca. I was stunned because she was obviously caucasion and had a jewish surname. She explained her Dad was a Nazi hunter and hat several hundred SS officers sought refuge in Mexico (in addition to the much more publicized Brazil)and that Moreleos had one of the largest Euopean communities outside it’s native continent.
I guess that sleaze bag Cortez, sent a letter home saying there was much work to be found there.
Anonster, you Irish bashing madman. I’d like to by you a Beer.
anonster,
Sorry if i don’t measure up to the great educational standards of those that came from the california educational system.
Not all of us had the opportunity to grow up in the best country in the world and if you have that opportunity take advantage of it!!
What you see as vemom, might just be what you dont want to hear!.
“Racist i think not, you wanting to use the tired old race card, i think so”!!
Read everything i have written and realise that i have a great respect for the mexican people i have always found the people of mexico to be soft spoken and very kind hearted with a great love for children. That is a fact!!
But, entitlements, business abuse, and the rich getting richer of illegal immigrants has got to stop and yes the fact that mexican immigrants are too dependent on entitlements. It is causing a sub-culture of American kids that can’t assimulate within their own country, because the power that be are causing segration for a business reason that i have tried to make clear.
It will break apart what makes this country great.
All people form all over the world with one thing in common a love for this country and its people.
You may not understand this anonster because you did not leave your country because of what you saw in this one.
SASD Teacher,
I think it would be a good idea for school district,s to give college credits to kids that will tutor for free kids from Santa Ana that want to learn and even those that don’t.
“Maybe a wee spark would be a good thing”.
And words are far more powerful than any bunch!!
Saulte
I hate to say it but having a beer with a mexican is alot more fun!! having a beer with a liberal even a conservative is like watching grass grow. Sorry but that is a fact too!! I am sure you two will be a bag of laugh’s.
duplojohn, about that beer, would it be wrong to make it a Guinness?
You can’t handle the Guinness!!
Is that a movie:)
Michelle Quinn, has it NEVER occurred to you that one could be a Mexican and a liberal or a conservative, too. I guess in your world MEXICAN trumps all.
anonster, like i said, “a barrel of laugh’s”
its a joke!! ligthen the load!!
… As always, nothing is as it appears …
Upcoming May 19th Special Election (my take) …
1A: retitled “16 billion dollar extension of a supposedly “temporary: sales tax increase, the income tax increase, and the car tax increase”
1B: retitled “9.3 billion dollars from 1A so teachers don’t have to take cuts that other state workers inevitably will have to”
1C: retitled “5.0 billion dollar loan from the lottery with additional unspecified taxes added to replace losses for education which was the original selling point of the lottery so they had to bribe the teachers to allow the loan”
1D: retitled “0.608 billion dollar raid on the Childrens Services Funding tax
1E: retitled “0.230 billion dollar raid on the Mental Health Services tax
1F: retitled “Let’s throw the people a bone to throw off the scent that this is all about taxes so we don’t have to pass a balanced budget”
1A & 1B are interrelated tax increases the legislators want to pass without the political heat of increasing taxes themselves. 1C is both a raid on a successful program and a tax increase on the poor of ungodly proportions. 1E and 1F are raids on previous propositions that were so successful getting new monies from new sources that the pols can’t keep their hands off of them. 1F is merely a meaningless bone thrown to the taxpayers to take them off the scent that this election is about raising taxes from 20 to 25 billion dollars.
This is basically a taxation plan for the voters; but they don’t want you to realize that; that’s why they’re so devilishly misnamed and complicated.
Vote your conscience,
Anonster- BIG, big difference between 50,000 illegal Irish and 20 million illegal Hispanics.
Not that the illegal Irish should not be deported- they should be- along with the 20 million Hispanics.
Here’s how: Just round up the employers and throw them in jail. You do that and they will soon fire the illegal workers. With no jobs, 90% will return home. Problem solved. No need to round up illegals- just their employers which is a whole lot easier.
By the way Ireland is now a first world country, so there are no excuses for the Irish to be here anyway.
As far as the Mexicans being good immigrants- some are and some aren’t. As bad as corruption is here in the US, in Mexico it’s much worse and a corrupt culture rubs off on most of it’s citizenry. So, many His[anics are not all that honest and let’s face it, their first act was to break the US immigration law. To quote an illegal Mexican immigrant I knew quite well “Mexicans steal A LOT”. I don’t doubt it and he would know better than I.
So let’s stop pretending, okay? We don’t have enough jobs for Americans let alone 20 million illegals. So let’s round up their employers and send them packing. And don’t worry, we will STILL have millions of anchor babies to support so your heart won’t break too much.

“Just a little history lesson for you anonster: In mexico their is a statue of the Irish men that defended mexico from the spanish invasion!!

NOT THE NATIVES!!”
SORRY MICHELLE you have proven time after time that you are academically challenged, and not too intelligent- but like you’ve said–that is not your fault—shouldn’t you be more empathetic with those that you obviously fit in with–because I think you are the one that is of “sub-culture”.
Now History lesson to you from me since I AM qualified to give you a history lesson and more– The Irish Statues you speak of are of Irishmen who defected from the U.S Army when the U.S invaded Mexico, and not Irish defending MX from Spanish invasion. –and no the Irish are not the elite nor are they running Mexico– a whole mixture of ppl are running Mexico. There is definitely an Irish presence throughout, just like there are French, Argentinian, Spanish, German, Lebanese, Japanese, Chinese, etc. in Mexico.
By the way you sound more Mexican than Irish. I am mexican and we are Irish—and so is my entire family in Mexico—YET we are Mexican first–every Mexican whether German, Irish, French,
Chinese,Lebanese, Spanish, Japanese,etc have great love for their country [Mexico] and they have assimilated through generations so they are Mexican–the other is not important anymore–why? Because Mexico embraces all, unlike other xenophobic ignorant sub-cultures. Culture is a very complex term and you shan’t accuse Mexico of being deficient in “Culture”. I see some of your points, however, I also see the shallow rationale you exercise to come to your sub-culture conclusions–which of course I am deeply sympathetic with. You come across as a pathetic person that probably lives alone with 20 cats- maybe even 51-50. Yes Michele 51-50.
Chelene Nightingale for governor 2010 aip has not been forthcoming with her OWN BANKRUPTCY FILING. She is hiding this fact while trashing other candidates. How dare she run for OUR top job in CA when she cannot even run her own life..blames the gov for 9-11 and is a conspiracy wack job…(of course also born again)
Chelene Nightingale is a mooooo cow. No it all attitude and no education to back her rants. She sounds very ignorant.
Wait, Proposition 25 gets rid of the prop 13 two-thirds vote requirement to raise our taxes. Our wonderful legislators try every election to get us to vote to drop the 2/3rds vote to a straight 50% votes. This time they’ve sweetened the pot with no money for legislators until they pass the budget. They’ve said it will save as in this case 4 million dollars. But how much will it wind up costing us if the 2/3rds vote to raise taxes is over turned? Where is the Howard Jarvis Tax Organization? They have this listed on their website. Please have a good look before advocating a yes vote on yet another “pull the wool over our eyes” legislation.
How pathetic you have to use Jon and Ken’s name and try to deceive people with this site, but that’s how the liberals have advanced, dishonesty, corruption and lying. So, so sad!!!
Great example of lameass liberals trying to cheat. It won’t help you, you lib douchebags. The tide of your selfish socialist gravytrain is going to turn, starting today. All the usual liberal tactics: cheating, lying, calling everyone racists, fraud, whining, crying, propaganda, distortions, dishonesty, class envy, being douchebags, etc… isn’t going to help you! Twist in it!
