Debt limit could threaten military pay

"........."Reductions in future spending commitments cannot supply the short-term cash needed," Geithner said.............."
The Debt Train just keeps on a rollin' down the tracks.
Propose a budget - well, we're well into this year's budget without a budget - but don't have the money to pay for it and then cry when we can't borrow more.
And speaking of Federal Money? Remember all the "creat of save jobs" talk a couple of years ago. Federal money going to school systems and the stupid school systems used it for teacher pay? I asked back then "What happens when the grant is done?"

Cumberland schools notify teachers jobs are cut, increase class sizes

"......Under Till's plan, about 80 teachers who were hired after the first day of school in August were cut outright next year to make up for a $14 million loss in stimulus and other federal funding............"
Also caused by a drop in State spending - but notice once again it's teachers - no other staff or administration positions. Out of 7,000 employees you'd think they could get at least 50% of the cuts from outside the classrooms.
The point of both articles is to show that "You" hit where it hurts the most to get people complaining "Give me my money (Teachers)".
Same thing with the High Sheriff in Cumberland County. Any time he does not get his requested budget money he cuts the school crossing guards. Soccer Moms scream bloody murder and he gets the money.
It's all over folks.
