Let's Bankrupt Los Angeles! Here's how!

Los Angeles, CA—Gun rights haters are dancing in the bloodof the children murdered by that well known mentally ill Sandy Hook killer.  When he could not buy a gun froma sporting goods store he murdered his own mother and robbed her of herguns.  We know the rest.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced Monday thatthe city’s annual gun “buyback” event has been moved up following the SandyHook murders.   They moved it up bymonths to December 26, 2012
Bring your rusty and unserviceable crap firearms from 9 a.m.to 4 p.m. on Dec. 26 at two locations: Los Angeles Sports Arena, Parking Lot 6,at 3939 South Figueroa Street and Van Nuys Masonic Temple at 14750 Sherman Way.  This a no questions asked event so they can’tmake you prove you did not come in from Arizona and Nevada!
They will pay you $100.00 for any handgun, rifle or shotgun.  If they deem it an “assault weapon” you get$200.00.   They will pay you with giftcards instead of cash so use them up on your way out of town.  Then buy some new guns, ammunition and getsome custom grips from Eagle Grips!
Since they are using tax dollars enjoy your windfall with avengeance.  I only hope we can bankruptLos Angeles for this symbolic and wasteful foolishness.

Controlling Government Spending One Car at a Time

A huge expense that American taxpayers must fund, are the automobiles that government workers, bureaucrats and politicians use.

Most working Americans must use their own cars for company business and are lucky to get the minimum IRS deduction for that requirement.

Our local, state and federal governments on the other hand buy and maintain millions of cars for those privileged politicians and their appointed political hacks. Many of these cars are Cadillac Escalades or Lincoln Navigators and such. Rather than place government license plates the vehicles have civilian plates on them.

Outside of military, police, fire and postal vehicles few if any other government vehicles have any markings at all. Those using them can usually take care of most of their personal needs with them. If they are observed driving outside of working hours they can always claim they were taking the vehicle to a car wash.

The worst offending states are California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey and the others that are now bankrupt. Looking at the cars driven at taxpayer expense it’s easy to see why.

We need to take the cars away for the most part. The others that can show a need for a taxpayer funded car should have the least expensive cars available with clear markings of the government agency involved.

In a time of financial disaster why do we allow the government elite the cars most taxpayers cannot afford?
