Sen. Phil Berger's an Economist!

Phil Berger of Eden, NC, has been designated president pro tempore by the new Republican majority in the NC Senate (position won't become official until January), and he sez he wants to cut the state's budget 15% "across the board."

Do you know what "across the board" means?

It means that Mr. Berger knows the costs of everything and the value of nothing.

    Yep! The era of unlimited government taxing and spending is coming to an end.

    Too bad the excessive of the dems are going to be so painful to correct.

    The second Anonymous may be right, as is the first. The people that have to be weaned from the bread and circuses slavery they were subjected to by the left are going to howl, at least until they find out they can better themselves though personal productivity to a much greater degree than by being a ward of a nanny state.

    The French Revolution--how interesting.

    Well, you finally admit the historical event that is the precedence to your philosophy.

    I have said it before and I will say it again. This isn't going to be easy. It's like if you let your teen age kids run up credit card bills and now it's time to start paying them off. It's going to hurt! In order to pay for some of the stereo equipment, fashion jeans, ipods, smart phones, gadgets, etc we now are going to have to cut back on a lot of things....

    We will still buy groceries, but not so much steak.
    We will patch the holes in the roof, but postpone the new roof for a while.
    We won't fix the spare tv, we will just have to watch the big screen in the living room that we haven't finished paying off yet.

    Of course, the teenagers will complain that it isn't fair!

    Pearl Buck said in her famous novel The Good Earth "When the rich get too rich, things will change." The problem with great disparity in wealth is that it creates an unstable society and unstable societies tend to end in violence. A stable secure society must have a system for redistributing the wealth in such a way that vast concentrations don't end up in a few families.

    2012 - While you and I are patching the roof or placing buckets under the leaks, the people who bought the last election are buying their second yachts and wintering in Ibiza.
