Sometimes it gets pretty brazen. The handout says this at the top, English on one side, Spanish on the other: “Club Z! Can Provide Your Child with Free In-Home Tutoring Paid for by the Federal Government.’ It gives a web site to go for more information.
I received this in my box at school on Thursday morning. The timing was not good. We have people being told we can’t pay them and at the same time we are advertising free “in-home” tutoring that your tax dollars will pay for. This are not flyers done on the library copier. These are full color with photographs. They are printed on heavy card stock. They were expensive to produce. And you are paying for them with your tax dollars.
Do you know anyone who has been furloughed? I do. Maybe I could send them a flyer.
I would submit that the president and leaders in the Senate are deliberately targeting people on their political hit lists. I would guess that someone in this organization donates to the Obama campaign.
We need to clean house.
Join me. Please.

The disgusting thing is that morons are STILL blaming republicans for the shut-down. Willful ignorance at its "best."
ReplyDeleteAlthough I will accept that the Republics have had a hand, now and in the past, the current games are pretty much on the other side of the aisle. I hope we make it through again.
DeleteGrace and peace.
It is pretty obvious that the whole shutdown is political posturing, does not bother Congress one bit, and that all the pain and consequences of it are being imposed on us serfs. In the past, some eye rolling and "good grief" statements sufficed to show my opinion on all this. This time around, however, I'm spitting mad.
ReplyDeleteChipmunk, I am glad to hear it. Every day I see gross waste of tax dollars that even I, as a government employee, pay. I keep hoping that this nonsense will reach a critical mass in the voting public before it blows up in the total economy.
DeleteKeep spitting. It is good for the political health of the nation even if it is frowned on in polite society.
Grace and peace.
