Has anyone stopped and thought about how screwed up our nation is right now? I mean this years politics aside, we have got some issues that need fixing.

How about this:
Right now in California we are having to STOP buses carrying kids to school because of the lack of funds in the state coffers. BUT, the Prisons are fully funded and operating normally?

Here’s another one on prisons:

THE ACLU sued the Department of Corrections in Texas because of the use of building tenders. (Inmates that helped control the inmates) in the early 90’s. The ACLU won, and building tenders were removed. That ruling allowed Gangs to control the Texas prison system rather than the guards, that ruling gave the Prison gangs the ability to recruit, intimidate and murder,  And it took away a valuable tool the guards needed to prevent it. For Example; The Texas Syndicate, was able to recruit members and expand the gang. Ask a Texan in Austin about TS And the Mexican Mafia. Both of which cost lives, money and property. Money has to be funneled to the area of the greatest need and when people are dying on the street, it becomes a GREAT NEED. Where does that money come from? THE BUDGET!

In CA similar lawsuits have taken place in order to make the prisoners stay more comfortable. So now, we have to pay additional police and additional guards in prisons, because of the gangs running gangs in and out of prisons. We have to funnel money to pay for healthcare of the prisoners yet our working class has no healthcare? Again BUDGET CASH.

There is no one looking at the unintended consequences of legislation, and it is costing us BIG.

Just thinking out loud I guess… :rollingeyes:
