Budget Cut???


New York city is known to be the capital of the world. This city is rich, because we pay a very high tax to live here, and keep the city the way it is. So why is our money ( tax money ) being put a side for a rainy day, not to mansion the being which is being cut off and being put aside is the same money that is being cut of from schools budget cut. Money for education, to educate us and the generations yet to come. Sum of $450 million has been cut back form the education department for the city. Which means schools will be more crowded, worse learning environment than the one already exists. After school programs will be cut off, negative out come can be expected . How: instead of the kids being active in the community or school related stuff, they may go out and get themselves involved in wrong activity. If the city is saving money for a rainy day by cutting back on out children's education, than a rainy day is a promise waiting to be kept! Because this budget cut will only bring negativity to the incoming classes. And without the proper education it will he harder for the next generation to compete with rest of the world whom are catching up to us. So why is the city cutting budget on such an important matter??? Who the mayor is not being kept responsible for such an idiotic move???

Congressmens


Million dollar, that's a lot of money, $800 million is even more. Usually when a project is dropped, the Congress needs time to study them , and depending on how valuable the project may be, you would get that amount of money from the government ( our money ). But on the week of Dec. 19th 2007, 298 projects costing $800 million, were dropped in at the last minute, leaving Congress virtually no time to study them , so as a result they gave away money to support the causes of what ever the project might be about.

So just how important this projects are, that cost so much of our hard working money?
A bridge was asked to be made in Nowhere, Alaska connecting an island: Population 80 people.
Another one would be, " $853,000 earmark for coffee and cocoa production in Maryland."

Some homeland securities projects were only identified as locations of the cities, such as:" St. Joseph, Mo. gets $1 million. Detroit gets $1.6 million" but for what????Congress failed to ask, may be they should ask, hows our money being used, instead of finding new ways to tax us.
