Total income: 14.5 Trillion.
Total debit: 15.579 Trillion (at the time of this writing).
Difference: 1.079 TRILLION!! That is 12 zeros folks. 1,079000000000000.00
Katie bar the door!!
This doesn't, however, tell the whole story. Most people I know would love to spend a thousand on themselves just for the heck of it. Yet under the current regime (Obama),we the people spent $800,000.00 on government employees from the GSA to go to Las Vegas for an all expense paid vacation. Hospitality rooms, contests, and a lot more.
It came out of that never ending pot of money, called government spending. They spent 800K for a good time in Vegas, while real unemployment is at 14.5%. Folks are worried about where they will live and how they will eat. Yet, we the people pay for spending with abandon under the Democrats.
At least in Wisconsin, we have taken some steps to curb this, the left hates it. That's ok. It's like taking your wife's credit card away when she went hog wild at a sale at Penny's. Well, you get the idea.
The left acts like it is entitled to our money even though they don't bring any to the table. They are unions, PAC's and committee's. We the people represent the money earned by and paid in by us to be used to pay for the services we use. Not for teachers to have 90 day's of sick leave.
Speaking of teachers and liberal boards of education, let's see how those that rushed to "protect" their teachers and settled their union contract's and failed to use the blessings of Act 10 have done.
In Kenosha WI, 250 teachers will be laid off to fill a 28 million budget shortfall. So teachers that have been there and sucking up benefits will be kept. Not based on their performance, because they have been there for more time than others. "IT'S FOR THE KIDS!!" NOT!!
Here's one for the ages. The Milwaukee public school system. Pay's it's teachers 55.83 per hour that's a first year teacher. Right out of the box!! But that's not the whole story. When you talk to people about teachers they always say "they went to school, and they have to go to school to keep up to date." True but they don't pay for it. The district pays for it,to the tune of 163,311.00 a year.
This list of things the tax payers in the Milwaukee school district pay for and the savings that could be realized. It would plug the hold in the budget, this along with merit pay. We could save job's.
Make teachers cover their own contributions to pension system $28 Million
Suspend automatic, annual salary increases for one year $5.5 Million
Cancel the 3 percent lump sum raise for teachers $10.4 Million
Make teachers pay 10 percent of their health insurance costs $12.8 Million
Postpone sick day reimbursement payouts for one year $709,036
Ask teachers to cover for absent colleagues without extra pay $1.3 Million
Ask teachers to monitor lunchrooms without extra pay $2 Million
Ask teachers to monitor bus loading without extra pay $90,781
Suspend contributions to health reimbursement accounts $225,684
Suspend reimbursements for college tuition $164,311
Total savings $61 Million.
