I always wanted to attend one of those sex shows down in S. F., but it's 
too expensive.  That was my original reason for being a Democrat, that 
it was the party of personal freedom.  I suspect that's about to change 
(some more, that is).  Could this be a preview of a future misguided 
Carrie Nation of Sex?  Have you seen how CoNN has made that sex-hating, 
howling lib Nancy Grace into such a celeb?  See, the libs strategy is 
not to repudiate their ridicuous stands on animal rights, etc., but to 
find an even redder herring elsewhere (don't even try to find a pun there).

At this point there's a question as to what "admin" even means.  One has 
to clarify whether that means total overhead (unlikely, since those 
figures would outdo the very best charities) or just the administrators 
per se (i. e., people who do no case work, but spend their days 
supervising case workers).  If you limit the definition of "admin" to 
supervisors salaries alone, then the exquisitely wasteful CalCommColl 
manages to appear to do about that well.  Just the fact that you would 
throw out empty figures without such clarification suggests that you're 
just a sales machine for socialism.  Even TV acknowledged the huge 
portion of our social security tax disappearing into the pockets of 
government employees, with their fake unions.

Every time there's a salary dispute locally between their "unions" and 
local officials, signs go up on about a quarter of the lawns.  God help 
us all if that's how many government employees' union members and their 
lackies there are!  But Lord knows, "management" always breaks down and 
gives them what them demand.  IMO, every government employee except for 
a few special ones should have been signed on knowing that it was a 
temporary position.

Why not be honest with yourself and ask how much college education each 
California teenager would be able to afford if they just took the 
grossly misspent $5 billion for community colleges and divided it up 
among the million or so in that age group?  I'd remind of you of how you 
lost every battle on that subject long ago, when we came right down to 
the figures.  But unfortunately, no one's paying me to do this all day, 
and fall is a time of great activity.

Maybe if you can find a reliable source, you can find out for us the 
only number that really matters at all: the ratio of checks paid out to 
benefit receivers versus the total collections from paychecks.  I 
suspect that the 3 BS numbers you threw out aren't even appropriate to 
be added together, right?  Remember, people were sold SS on the premise 
that their money would earn HUGE compound interest in a HUGE locked box, 
and now it turns out that all they're doing is taking away the payments, 
taking out a large fraction for computers and salaries and such, and 
just redistributing the rest to benefit recipients.  What a lie!
