Stop Pulling the Wagon

A little over three years ago I wrote and published what I consider one of the most important articles I have written.  I followed it with several related pieces that focused on LGBTQ+ related “Transgender” (Pretender) group predators grooming and recruiting grade school children for “Gender” “Identity” transformation, including “Physical/Surgical” mutilation Services.  This I believe is monstrous.  I can only hope when these children grow up they pursue legal redress, including punitive punishment, against those who destroyed their childhood and future happiness.  A reprint of the article follows and if you type Protecting the most Vulnerable in the search box (left column home page) it will connect you with the original article and related, similarly important articles outlining what these predators are doing to the most vulnerable and precious members of our society.   Please share this article.

WE ALL HAVE THE OBLIGATION

TO PROTECT THE MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US

I am sure there are some out there who are going to be angry with me for what I am writing.  That’s okay.  Be angry.  I am past angry, I am outraged with what I see is happening in some of our schools nationwide to the young, vulnerable and innocent youth of America.  Our children are more important than your opinion of me.

First, let me say that I am not a “Gay Basher”, I do not hate Gay People or other members of the LGBTQ community.  I have worked with, shared food with and respected many of this group for many years.

I am writing about the latest militant activist generation of this group coming out of our new “WOKE” Colleges and becoming “Educators” in our Grade Schools with an agenda to indoctrinate and recruit CHILDREN into the Gay and Transgender elements of our society.

We do not allow CHILDREN to buy guns, get drivers licenses, serve in the military, be doctors or work in dangerous jobs for a reason.  They are not mature enough to make life changing decisions about something they do not understand.  Children do not understand sexuality and fall easy prey to teachers whom they respect. 

What I am witnessing that has me so irate is what is happening in some of our schools with the youngest and most vulnerable of our children.  I am talking especially about little ones in the K-6th Grade.

There are many well documented reports:

• I have seen on television video clips of strident, militant LGBTQ Grade School Teachers bragging about how they love sharing their “orientation” with their grade school students.  “Teach them while they are young”.
• Giving children instruction on how to choose their own preferred pro-nouns and choice of sexual identity.
• Children in grades 3-6 being given graphic pictorial curriculum on sexual body parts and their functions – even reports of how to perform oral sex on one another.
• Giving CHILDREN the knowledge of full acceptance of all types of sex in the LGBTQ community. 
• Full support for those CHILDREN who decide they are Transgender and how to “transfer” to the sex of their choice.  In many locations the schools are making available the pharmaceuticals and other resources for CHILDREN, PRE-TEENS and EARLY TEENS to pursue these life changing decisions, often without parental consent.
• In many, many locations throughout America Schools are restricting or prohibiting parents from access to these curriculum or any parental rights to exclude their own child from these materials.
• A school is forced to permit a “suddenly” “Transgender” boy access to the girls Locker Room and Showers.

Are you angry yet?  Many people are very upset about what is happening but afraid of the power of those “pushing” this agenda, including Teachers Unions and the National LGBTQ Community.  Fear of being “Cancelled”, reprisals from employers, even government agencies that are in the “pockets” of the above powers.

We, me, you and all our fellow citizens and neighbors need to be (non-violently) pounding on the tables at School Board Meetings, writing, calling and challenging our elected leaders at all levels and speaking out boldly against this monstrous abuse of all our CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, NEIGHBORS CHILDREN and all CHILDREN everywhere. 

The above is pure evil.  Our CHILDREN deserve to be children and play as children.  They must not be rushed into the world of adult sexuality and the adult decisions that come with it.

Children our our most treasured and vulnerable asset.  We must protect them.  Be angry with me if you wish.  Hate me if you wish.  But, if you agree that our children must be protected, please share your thoughts, copies of this and similar articles with your family, your neighbors, your School Board, Educators/Teachers,  your elected officials, anybody who will listen and help stop this madness.

For those readers of Faith – Pray for our Children.

Representative Ro Khanna

California 17th Congressional District

In the Government “Shutdown” the main sticking point has been the Democrats demanding full funding for Obamacare “Subsidy” payments which have continued to escalate over the years, and the Republican insistence on coming up with a “new” plan.  there is general agreement, even with many Democrats, that Obamacare has never lived up to its promises and costs are out of hand.  During a news broadcast yesterday Democratic Representative Khanna championed ending Obamacare and replacing it with Medicare for all.  A single payer Government Insurance for everybody.  This has been seriously looked at in the past.  I outlined my questions and concerns in a post I did back in January of 2019.  That post is repeated here below.  Some of the premium numbers I quoted have changed but I will stand by my questions and conclusions.  

******************************

MEDICARE FOR ALL?

With the opening of the new Congress and change to Democratic control of the House of Representatives we are hearing renewed calls for “Medicare For All” residents of the United States.  This has become a rallying cry for the “Progressive” wing of the Democratic Party.  Not all Democrats are admitted “Progressives” but  a growing number appear to be.

“Progressive” is a kinder and gentler word for “Socialist” and some champions for this cause readily admit to Socialist leanings.  Socialist is in turn, often associated with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics/Russia  and other Socialist countries like Venezuela, Cuba and many others.

If you would like an example of living in a Socialist Country, you might want to vacation in Venezuela this year.  Make it soon.  The country is in “end stage” Economic Collapse.

“Medicare For All” has a nice “ring” to it and on the surface would appear to be a way to provide Universal Medical Care to everyone on a simplified, single payer basis.  The idea sounds simple enough to be attractive.

A similar proposal was studied under Bill Clinton’s Presidency with Hillary Clinton heading up a task force to work out a plan for implementation.  After much study and spending millions of dollars on the proposed idea it was ultimately determined to be unworkable.

Several studies have been done and reported in Bloomberg and other  outlets that place the estimated cost of such a proposed plan at between 32 Trillion and 42 Trillion Dollars over 10 years.  That’s about 3.2 Trillion to 4.2 Trillion Dollars a year and would approximately double current Federal Spending.

It should be noted that Medicare as it currently operates is on the road to Bankruptcy.  Government Trustees, including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar,  issued a report that Medicare’s trust fund will run out in 2026 and the combined trust funds of Social Security will run out in 2034.  Source: The Washington Examiner – Saturday January 26, 2019 – from a report by Joseph Lawler June 05, 2018.

Many people believe that Medicare is “Free” healthcare for Senior Citizens.  It is not.  Medicare is not free.  Premiums for Medicare are based in part on income – visit: MyMedicare.Gov – but if I take myself as an example, I’m a pretty ordinary Senior on a modest income, the following shows my Medicare Medical Insurance  and Medicare Prescription Plan monthly premiums for this year.  Keep in mind that plan premiums are for each individual.  Mine total just a bit over $300 a month this year.  If on a “Medicare For All” plan and I was one of a family of five, we could be paying a total premium of $1,500 a month.  

Please keep in mind also that Medicare Medical Insurance does not cover everything and has co-pays, deductibles and maximums.  The same for the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.  When your limits run out during the year and, “you” are “on your own” for the cost of care or prescriptions for the rest of that year, is where we Seniors get the phrase “Donut Hole”.  I hit my own “Donut Hole” last year on my Medicare Prescription Drug Plan in October.

For the tens of millions of citizens who might not want to be a part of “Medicare For All” and are happy with their current insurance, don’t worry, “If you like your Doctor and Insurance, you can keep them, and that’s a promise!”  Hmmm – Where did we hear that before?

I am sure that Congress, most government employees and various other “special interests” would find a way to exempt themselves just as they did from the “Affordable Care Act”.  Hardly “Medicare For All”.  “All” never seems to include our “Ruling Class”.

For Senior Citizens the premium is withheld from our Social Security payment.  What would the Government do to collect premiums from those who don’t have a check to withhold the premium from, or those who don’t work for a paycheck?  What about those who can’t or won’t pay?

What would happen to the cost of care?  Are there enough doctors to make the plan work?  Not all doctors are currently willing to accept Medicare patients.   There are many unanswered questions. 

Bob Bandy – January 2019

*******************

In closing, my concerns with Medicare for All have not changed.  The program was designed for people who had worked all their lives and paid into the Social Security System.  The Medicare “Trust Fund” is still on a path to Bankruptcy.  What about all the folks who do not work?  What about those who can’t or won’t pay the premiums for Medicare?  Keep in mind Medicare is not “Free”.  In my example above premiums for a family of five would be about $1,500 a month (2019 Dollars).  One of the main problems with Health Care Costs is the large number of folks who use the system but do not work or pay into the system.  During the “Shutdown” I saw one woman interviewed who was/is totally dependent on the government for herself and her seven children.  Who is going to pay the “Medicare” premium for this family?  Lots to think about.

Bob Bandy – November 2025

SOMETIMES THE FOLKS IN CHARGE MAKE  IT TOO EASY FOR ME

THEY ARE AT IT AGAIN – ANOTHER GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

FROM DECEMBER OF 2018

ESSENTIALLY ESSENTIAL NON ESSENTIALS?

(A title that could have been written by KAMALA HARRIS)

December 2018

As of this writing our Government is in “Partial Shutdown”.  We are told that this is only about a 25% shutdown as only “Non-Essential” Services will be put on hold.

All other Government spending is on “Auto-Pilot” and no budget is needed to continue spending.  How comforting.  Excuse the sarcasm.

Lets see.  As a nation we are now some 21 Trillion (with a ‘T’) Dollars in debt.  Well, Excuse me……..  I have a question, if we are only shutting down “Non-Essential” Services, which by my country-boy  thinking means “we can live without them”, then why don’t we shut them down permanently, save the money and maybe, just maybe, start digging our way out of debt?

 (Note: the 21 Trillion Dollar debt total from 2018 is now 36 Trillion Dollars in 2025)

But, we are told that is not the way Government works.  When the clowns, criminals and lunatics in Washington get done arguing and come to some kind of agreement, they will “Restore” all those “Non-Essential Services” and retro-actively again fund all those “Non-Essential Services” because, as you see, our Government considers them “Essential”.

In our family, and with most businesses,  budgeting does not work this way.  But of course we don’t have the ability to print fiat money.

Following this tirade I am again printing below an article that was sent to me back in August of 2012 and I reprinted at that time on this site because it is such a classic example of “Government Think”. I can think of no way of saying it better.  It is not original with me – I merely share it.

**********

THE NIGHT WATCHMAN

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.  Congress said, “Someone may steal from it at night”.  So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.  Then Congress said, “how does the watchman do his job without instruction?”

So they created a planning department and hired two people.  One person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.  Then Congress said, “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?”  So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people.  One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports.

Then Congress said, “how are these people going to get paid?”  So they created two positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer, then hired two people.  Then Congress said, “Who will be accountable for all of these people?”  So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, “We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back.”

So they laid off the night watchman.

Now slowly let it sink in.  We go like sheep to the slaughter.  The lunatics are in charge of the asylum.

Bob Bandy – Again October 2025

GIVEN THE AUTHORITY I COULD REDUCE THE COST OF NEW HOUSING

BEING BUILT IN CALIFORNIA BY $60,000 OR MORE IN LESS THAN A MONTH

By way of historical context I spent several years “back in” the 1970’s as a carpenter and builder of housing, mostly in El Dorado County, California but also in Sacramento County.  I was also one of the project Foremen on the Grizzly Flats Mountain Retreat Project from start to finish in El Dorado County.  I loved my work.  In those days when we went in to get a building permit for a new home the cost of the permit was a couple to a few hundred dollars.  My memory is not perfect but I remember one permit on a custom home we were building was $292 (don’t know why that number has stuck in my head all these years).  Times have changed. 

FIRST – THE GOOD NEWS

Give me the authority to control the cost of a building permit for new homes within the State of California and I will mandate that Cities, Counties and all other agencies that issue building permits may not charge more than $1,000 for giving builders permission to build a new home.  At the time of this writing many/most government agencies in California are charging $60,000 or more to give you a paper to let you build a house on property that you already own.  And I have heard unverified horror stories of permits running  as high as $150,000 in some locales before you can drive the first nail in that new home.  

A bit of history.  Some number of years back California voters passed Proposition 13 which says Taxing authorities within California cannot raise taxable property values by more than 1% a year unless the property is “improved” (such as adding a pool or an additional room etc. that lets them re-evaluate the property to “current market value” for taxing.

Since government at all levels has an unquenchable thirst for more tax dollars the above “Prop 13” rule frustrates their desire to find ways to tax you more and more. 

But then…  almost by accident government discovered a way to raise property taxes exponentially.  They discovered that if they raised the cost of a building permit, which you must my law have to build a home, the cost of the building permit would be added to the cost of the home being built and of course to the price of the home.  The added benefit to the Taxasauras’ is that the Building Pcrmit fee increases the price of the home and its tax base and Harry Homeowner will now pay taxes on the cost of the home AND also pay taxes on the added permit cost, indefinitely.  What started out as a $340,000 new home has been converted into a $400,000 (or more) Tax Cow that your Neighborhood Tax Authority can “Milk” forever.  A 20% increase in property tax  revenue for issuing a piece of paper allowing you to build a house.  Talk about creative accounting.

Give me the authority to remove their ability to “fleece” you with this clever little “Permit Scam” and the cost of a new home can be reduced by $60,000 (or more).  As an added bonus the Property taxes would be based on $340,000, the actual cost of building the home, not on $400,000, which is the inflated value from the greatly inflated Permit cost, a savings of 20% in taxes to the homeowner.

NOW – THE BAD NEWS

Since the above little government scheme has inflated the market cost (and tax base) of housing in California by $60,000 (or more), if we remove their ability to charge those fees, the cost of a new home can be reduced by the amount of those fees, in this example $60,000,  which is good news to those looking to buy a new home.  But there is a downside.  This reduction would put downward price pressure on existing homes….  Good news for those looking to buy and, in many cases, bad news for those who would now find themselves “upside down” in homes purchased under the existing Government “Flim-Flam” Tax Scheme where they are forever stuck with paying “Property Taxes” on governments little Permit Fee to “work around” the “Prop 13” “hurdle”. 

Editors Note:  If property values decline you can have your Property Tax Authority revalue your property for Property Tax purposes and a reduction in Property Taxes on your home.  Don’t expect speedy smiling service. Tax Authorities do not like losing Property Tax revenue because of declining property values.

In the “Good News” case citizens would likely make me out a hero because new housing would be more affordable.  

In the “Bad News” case citizens stuck with the phony, paper value inflated tax scheme and facing market value devaluation of their homes would most likely not form a “Fan Club” for me.

What would you say the odds are of government letting this little “Tax Bonanza” “ripoff” slip out of their control? 

Don’t you just love the way government can find new ways to tax you?

Bob Bandy – September 2025

IN THE NEWS

In the News today Congress is wrestling with the fact that in the United Kingdom, Canada and some other countries, what you say can put you in Prison.  Case in point is a British comedian who made a joke about a “Transgender” and has been arrested and is now facing serious Jail time.  Seems some folks, somewhere, have made the decision that what he said was “hate speech” and that is forbidden and gets you a lengthy stay in the “Crossbar Hotel“.  Which gets me to thinking…..  Who gets to decide what is allowed and what is not allowed?  My general observation is that it is, for example, okay to mock a Christian but if you protest late term abortions in front of a Planned Parenthood Clinic, you can end up in jail.  Who made that rule?

Looking back on my writings over the years it is clear to me that I better not visit the United Kingdom or Canada or ?? because my writings, many of which have been posted on Facebook, X and many other public websites available worldwide, many of these “thought & word” Police would consider grounds to lock me up and throw away the key!  An example follows of an article I posted some nearly four years ago.  I published this article under the category of “Humor” but everything in it from a scientific, DNA, biological and medical basis is absolute fact and yet not acceptable to the WOKE,  LBGTQ++ and “Trans-gender” crowd.  I am reprinting it below and hopefully no one will come to my front door with an arrest warrant!  For it and related articles just type Gender Studies in the search for articles box in the left column of the home page.  Enjoy!

GENDER STUDIES

WE HUMANS CAN’T SEEM TO LEAVE ANYTHING ALONE

This is written under the category of “Humor” for a reason.

We all need to lighten up a little and learn to laugh at ourselves.

The Federal Government and various Colleges and Universities have spent Hundreds of Millions of taxpayer and student loan dollars on “Gender Studies” and research over a period of years.

It is rumored that the “final” conclusions from all this fact finding and money spent were  so  surprising and perhaps controversial, and may I say for those doing the studies a shock  that they decided to bury the report in a previously abandoned Nuclear Missle Silo in the mid-west guarded round the clock by heavily armed troops.

Never the less, and despite all the care given, a single copy of this report fell into the hands of a “whistle blower” who has leaked it to our undercover agent.

To the great consternation of all the researchers it was finally concluded and scientifically established  that, contrary to all publicly pronounced protocol and human wishes, there are two and only two genders.  Male and Female.

Despite the efforts of some states and localities to encourage parents of newborns to leave blank the gender line on newborn birth certificates so that said newborn can come back at a later date, after they have decided what gender they want to be (from a creative list of 20+ options) and fill it in with the self chosen gender of their choice.  However, that newborns true gender will remain the same as it was at birth at a biological, chromosome,  genetic and DNA level throughout his or her life.

It was also established that the term “Trans-Gender” is not a gender.  It would be more appropriate to title it the “Wannabe Gender”.  An example would be large, strong athletic males who “wannabe” dominate in women’s sports.   It simply describes those of one gender who desire to be a member of the other gender for any of a number of reasons.  Despite wardrobe changes, good intentions, bad intentions, “plumbing” changes, hormonal treatment and all manner of “smoke and mirrors, if a self styled “Trans-Gender” has the cruel misfortune to die in such a way as the only option to identify them lies with a medical examiner and DNA analysis, the final report will show they were either male or female.  There is no such thing as Trans-Gender DNA.  Sorry.

Dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens or people.  There are two genders. 

You can have all the fun you want, even invent new social constructs and groups but…

THERE ARE TWO AND ONLY TWO GENDERS AMONG WE HUMANS

Too bad about all those hundreds of millions of dollars spent on research.

……. God created mankind…… male and female He created them.     Genesis 1:27

INTEGRITY FOR SALE

California is in a state of destruction under the corrupt management of “Wannabe President” California Governor Gavin Newsom whose integrity is for sale to whoever or whatever will further his ambition to run for the highest office in our nation. 

From support for the High Speed Rail to nowhere disaster, mismanagement of the Pacific Palisades, Altadena and Malibu Fire non-recovery program,  11 Billion++++ Dollar shortfall on the state budget, 23+ percent increase in Homelessness, unfunded costs of caring for millions of illegal immigrants and their needs, highest gas taxes in the nation, crumbling roads and infrastructure, 25 Billion Dollars in “Homeless Funds” that just “disappeared”,  ctc. etc…  Governor Newsom is both the  architect and owner of the destruction of what once was a beautiful, prosperous and wonderful state to live in.

Not all, but much corruption and monumental waste of tax resources can be showcased in his government sponsored Homeless Programs where Billions and Billions of dollars are wasted because once funded the money for these programs end up in the coffers of “NGO’s”, translation: Non-Government Organizations, translation: Pockets of Political Supporters. 

The Clinton Global Initiative is an example of an NGO operating as a “Non-Profit” (wink! wink!) that has received Billions of Dollars in Government funds over the years.  Most of the funds they have received have “evaporated” yet somehow, by some stroke of luck, they have been spared serious IRS audit of just where the money has gone. “Poof”.

The following is a reprint of an article I published back in September of 2023 which “Showcases” just one example of what happens when Governor Newsom and his supporters get their hands on Billions of Dollars that have no chance to solve a problem, only fatten their own pockets with Taxpayer Dollars.

CALIFORNIA’S $44,000 HOMELESS BONANAZA

September 2023

FOR POLITICALLY “CONNECTED” CONTRACTORS – CALIFORNIA’S HOMELESS CRISIS IS A WINDFALL BONANAZA

Messenger News – 9-15-23

Los Angeles officials prioritized speed over cost while building a new city-sanction tent village for homeless people in East Hollywood, reportedly shelling out $44,000 for each individual tent — about the price of a new Tesla Model Y.

All told, it cost about $4 million to put up fencing, bathrooms, and staffing facilities for the village. Catering services and 24-7 staffing cost an additional $3 million per year, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Despite the high costs, the site is only temporary. It’s located on a parking lot that will eventually be turned into public housing. But because it will take years for construction to commence on that project, the city decided to fill the space with tents in the meantime.

Urban Alchemy, a San Francisco-based nonprofit, maintains the camp village, but not without controversy.

When the nonprofit launched with a small grant in 2018, it mostly hired former prisoners because they had the “ability to read people in unpredictable situations.” Lawsuits have since accused some of these employees of abusive behavior.

The nonprofit brought in $51 million in 2021 after expanding into Austin and Portland

Urban Alchemy says it’s offering a practical solution to build quick and affordable housing for California’s 172,000 homeless people, while also offering more intangible perks, like safety and autonomy.

The tents in the East Hollywood location are of higher quality than anything someone could buy from a typical camping store. They have raised wooden platforms, full beds, and storage lockers. The site has reportedly been close to capacity since opening in February 2022.

The nonprofit Coalition for Responsible Community Development, meanwhile, set up an office across the street to attract people who might be interested in reentering the workforce.

The nonprofit already oversees several camp villages across the state with varying styles. The residences at a tent city in Culver City are made from sturdy white canvas, while those in South Los Angeles are more humble, resembling store-bought camping gear.

Only about 2% of the guests have since moved on to permanent housing, a statistic Urban Alchemy blames on a lack of affordable housing in the city, according to the Times.

***************************

It is hard for me to add to the above.  These multi-million dollar homeless “solutions” are really only an endless “Cash Cow” for our politicians and their “well connected” supporters.

Do you want to speculate what these pristine white tents will look like after a couple of months of occupancy by drug and alcohol addicted vagrants? It has been my experience in life that, not in every case, but in general, people show the same care and discipline in caring for the place where the lay their heads at night as they do in managing their own day to day lives.  What do the areas these homeless vagrants have occupied so far look like?

Reminds me of the spoof I wrote some months back about Mayor Conrad Blowhard which follows:

A SPIN CITY NARRATIVE

Conrad Blowhard is the Mayor of Spin City, California.  His city has become infested with homeless encampments and vagrants numbering in the thousands.  To some this would seem a problem but Mayor Blowhard sees an opportunity.  

He will convince his City Council that in an effort to help the homeless and decrease their numbers on the cities streets and alleys he would like them to pass a funding bill in the amount of 80 Million Dollars with the proceeds dedicated to renovating a dilapidated, nearly abandoned hotel down on “Skid Row” and convert it’s 80 rooms into housing for the homeless.  The City Council passes the funding request and pats themselves on the back for “caring” about the homeless.

Closed bidding contracts are let out to major contractors who are supporters and donors to the Mayor for the work to be done.  A ceremonial event is held at the Foggy Bottom Hotel with the Mayor swinging a sledge hammer through a faded door of a shoddy 200 square foot room in front of live television cameras.  Everybody applauds.

Work begins.  Some effort is made to rid the building of most of the rats, termites and other vermin which infest it.  The leaking roof is patched.  Contractors workers “freshen up” the rooms with new paint, carpet, updated (cheap) fixtures from China and new window coverings.  Cost per room renovated is $400,000.  In addition, the hotel gets a new name:  “NEW BEGINNING’S” and a single fresh coat of exterior paint. 

Grand Opening Day arrives.  Brass Bands and Ribbon Cutting.  Mayor Blowhard and City Council members make grandiose speeches about how they have solved the cities Homeless Crisis.  A few ragged homeless people are seen entering the building to take occupancy of their renovated 200 square foot “apartments”.

The Mayor’s handpicked contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers go out and spend their profits on new boats, sports cars and luxury vacations but not forgetting to “tithe” back some of those profits to the Majors campaign re-election coffers.

The 80 “new” tenants of the once dilapidated hotel settle in and begin the task of de-renovation on the hotel to turn it back into a Skid Row Manor.  

The whole process is “spun” as a huge success and praise and credit is layered on all who participated in the project.  What could possibly go wrong.  Housing was provided, at least temporarily, for 80 homeless people for only 80 Million Dollars.  “WINK – WINK”.

P.S. I would like to give inspirational credit to Michael J. Fox and his long ago television series “Spin City”.

P.S. Take the above real life narrative and scale it up from a City Mayor to the level of our Governor and you will get some idea of the financial carnage being done to the State I was born in and admired for so many years.   What this governor is doing to California should be, if it is not, Criminal.
