Why I Am Grumpy

 Are people stupid or just not thinking?

It is election time and politicians will say anything to you in order to get you to vote for them.

For an example, A candidate said The high cost of electricity is out of control and that he’s going to put a stop to that.   Think?   The electric rates set by the state energy regulatory commission not by a local politician. The utility company submit a request for a price change and it’s up to the commission to grant it or not.

Another politician said he will do away with Income tax on tips and overtime money.   So think ?   If there’s less money coming into the federal government, where are they going to get the replacement money?

When voting on a school bond or any bond proposal.   Think ?   When the bond matures, where are they going to get the money to pay off? You the taxpayer.

Other things to think about.

When a store says  “Spend $25 and receive a certificate for five dollars off on your next purchase of $25 or more.”    What they are really saying is you need to spend $50 before  you get five dollars off?
