WHITE HOUSE AND REPUBLICANS HAVE TO REJECT BAILING OUT THE STATES.

THE KUHNS REPORT


LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Well,  Congress passed the  second Payroll Protection Plan for  Small Businesses across America. Hooray! But now  Speaker Pelosi, and the do nothing Democrats want all of us taxpayers across the nation to BAIL OUT poorly  and incompetently run liberal Democratic states on still another stimulus bill.

Many of these liberal states like Illinois, California,  And New York have run their states in to the ground  by pandering to private sector unions, public employee unions, and teachers unions by always  increasing their wages, benefits, and retirement pensions , all the while knowing that the state didn't have the money in their  budgets to do so. These states have pension debts to these unions in the BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Now they want you and me to pay off these debts so they can start over from scratch and continue to pay these unions, both public and private, more in benefits where they left off. What a CROCK!

These liberal Governors and politicians mismanaged their states budget for decades, racking up  debt on debt for future generations to pay off. Just look at California, right now. The Governor is taking COVID-19 stimulus  money from the federal government  and had committed to  pay ILLEGAL ALIENS the money that is intended for United States citizens. This one example shows you how incompetent these liberal Governor's  are. In a crisis in AMERICA, they still intend to cater and push their open border agenda, operate sanctuary cities and states and  take care of illegal alien's over American citizens. Believe me, these liberal Governor's will not change. They will accept everything the Federal Government gives them (OUR TAX MONEY) , which you and I are on the hook for and they will continue to bite the hand that feeds them..

Folks, if you and I, and every average John and Jane Doe has to live within their means and BUDGET, it is not unusual to expect our  state representatives and lawmakers to DO THE SAME.  They should pay reasonable salaries to Public Sector employees and union members, not over the top salaries, pensions and benefits.They should be expected to live within their state budget like you and I do each and every day. If we do not have the money to pay for something, we have to do without. It should not to hard  for cities, counties, and states to know how much money they have coming in each and every month, just like you and I do. And  it should not be hard for the cities, counties and states to know what expenses they have and what monies they have in the bank to pay those expenses. Hell, you  and I do it on a daily basis. But when the Governors play politics and want to garner votes for themselves and their party, they have no problem of burdening us, the taxpayer to pay for their incompetence. These Governors, lawmakers and politicians have no problem whatsoever about spending other peoples money. It is easy to spend someone else's money, and they are spending your money, and my money, on these frivolous projects.

Now the Governors  are using the COVID-19 crisis to scam more money from our tax money and the federal government. They shut down all businesses in their states, play politics, restrict peoples movement, pass unreasonable rules, regulations and policies   and give lip service to those businesses that want to reopen. They are aware that many businesses are are the brink of bankruptcy. They do know many of these businesses cannot continue to hold on by a thread. But these  do nothing Governors  continue to extend their lock downs  and insist we taxpayers  BAIL THEM OUT for their mismanagement of the state. I suggest they go BANKRUPT. Why should they be any different that you or I, or a business that has to file for bankruptcy.  If they cannot manage their own budgets, and pay for all state services by living within the budget from our taxes , then  let them  file for bankruptcy and begin  all over again by restructuring the state budget.

It's a known fact that every state has a RAINY DAY FUND.  Every individual usually has money set aside for emergencies or unexpected events. States are no different. Every month or every year these states should have been contributing to their rainy day fund. BUT guess what? They didn't do that. Now each state, mostly liberal states want you and I to pay up. Each state is requesting BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to pay off their debts. That's wrong.

This upcoming stimulus bill SHOULD NOT BAIL OUT ANY STATE. The Governors are responsible for the mismanagement of their state. They put themselves in this debt hole on their own, with their eyes wide open. I suggest that instead of a a bailout  the states are offered the opportunity of applying for a loan. Let these states borrow the money and have the requirement to  PAY IT BACK to the federal government. Under no circumstances should we the taxpayer be on the hook and have the  federal treasury dole out BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to each state. A loan is okay, a bailout is not.   And, that's my opinion. I suggest you look at and consider the circumstances, and come to your own conclusions. You decide.
