Exceprts from Commentary, Comments and Letters from Lightfoot Letters
02/15/2009 : On: Stimulus money.
It's just like Christmas. Except you had to be bad, Really Bad, to receive a gift.
02/16/2009 11:05:07 AM: On Education and wealth
We're arguably one of the richest states in the country." And your argument is that college education created one of the richest states in the country or we need more college education to make good use of our wealth like California. Do you realize all those college educated politicians have put California in a 40 billion plus black hole that has no bottom. And, those college educated politicians in Alaska want to take us to California. Education does not create wealth. Wealth creates education.
03/20/2009 10:32:14 AM: Governor Palin should reject all ill-gotten gains from the Federal Government. Any short term gain is not worth creating another long term depression.
03/02/2009 On; True meaning of liberalism.
"The court's most liberal members sounded *sympathetic to expanded testing." *Sympathetic is the wrong word that means nothing. A true liberal would be looking for justice, nothing more, nothing less. And, for all those that think Democrats are liberals need not apply.
03/14/2009 Editoral - scholarship fund ok.BOTTOM LINE: The state should not be involved in funding individual education. Because, that gives the state the power to decide which individual receives benefits and how much each individual receives. The state by interjecting 'social egineering' concepts into public education has turned one of the best in the world to one of dubious quality at best with authoritarian socialist failing concepts of the past. Not to disregard the fact the state has caused the cost of education to rise almost out of reach for the middle class. The state could do well by stop trying to help us...before they destroy us.
04/17/2009 10:07:09 AM: On: "Obama's priorities, Stanislaw said; place the environment and climate change ahead of (the people) energy security and domestic oil and gas supplies."
This is the equivalent of The President giving you the middle finger. Thank you Mr. President.

Again, this can not be said enough. Public employees across the nation do not have to share the cut hours, reduced pay and lay-offs that the private sector is suffering. The public sector should be the first, not the last, or NEVER, to suffer during an economic contraction. This is not sound economics, nor is it just!

06/09/2009 03:04:12 PM: On: Gay marriage. As a liberal, one core value must be "it is never acceptable to enhance the rights and privilege of one citizen (concept of marriage) by restricting the rights and privilege of another citizen (moral values). I think most thought California had found the happy middle ground by giving legal benefits and privilege to all living together as a couple. Except, roomate couples who also should have all the same benefits and privilege as any other permanent living arrangement. That would be a more just equality.
Also, I can not get over the feeling that the organized attacks, threats on people of faith and vandalism on the physical church has a very familiar ring. The Jews in Germany and the Black Churches in the United States. Something I never thought could happen again; Not to Jews, Christians, Humanists, Mormons, Atheists or Muslims in the United States. But, sadly it is, it has and it probably will continue.!
06/10/2009 02:51:33 PM: "Letterman joked in his monologue Monday night that during the seventh inning of a Yankees game "her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."
I only thought Letterman had a problem with women in positions of power. Guess he just has a problem with females in general. But, the biggest problem Letterman has is he is not funny. His attempt at humor is just a way to attack those he does not like personally for political reason. CBS your ratings are down for a reason. One way you spell reason is l e t t e r m a n.

July 17, 2009 regarding on GS Bailout
This comment is pending approval and won't be displayed until it is approved.
Bailout fo Goldman Sachs, more for the rich. No bailout for CIT, nothing for poor to middle class. When you interject social engineering concepts into the business model, the poor always lose, from small business loans to a 300% tobaco tax increase, to the lottery.

The problem is pretty simple: The Federal Government is creating more government sector jobs and fewer private sector jobs needed to support the public sector jobs. The Federal Government spending and the private sector saving is a planned disaster. Business contraction into a depression in one easy lesson.
