Jan Brewer's plan for Arizona

While the thought of taxing the rich fucks who don't contribute ANYTHING to the state while paying NO taxes is anathema to republican jerks like brewer and her handlers (and CCA -- the prison corporation) and most of the supine democrat codependents...

Her plan is to (in order of below):

1) Piss on state employees (let them eat "cake")
2) Cut state parks (AND rest areas! Talk about dumping on tourism)
3) Use Federal Stimulus money while pissing on the Feds for the stimulus
4) CUT, CUT, CUT public education EVERYWHERE from pre-K to college! She didn't need it, why the f*ck should working people get decent education.
5) CUT, CUT, CUT Medicare (that's what AHCCCS is here), Kill Kid's Health Care, People with mental health issues should "get it together on their own", put 10,000 more families on the street, put 10,000 MORE low wage working people out on the street, Close Juvenile corrections and put the kids in the county jails with the real "criminals" (another unfunded mandate to the cities and counties), steal lottery money from schools to state subsidies for rich corporations...

* According to the governor's proposed budget plan, in an effort to eliminate the state's budget deficit she has recommended a mandatory 5 percent pay cut for state employees.

* In January 2010 an Arizona oversight board voted to close 13 state parks in an effort to ease the state's looming budget deficit. Since July 2009 the state legislature cut approximately 61% of the state parks budget.

* In order to avoid major budget cuts to Public Safety the governor has proposed using $20 million in federal stimulus dollars to "fund grants for local public safety to help cities and towns."

* Education funding, according to the proposed budget, will be reduced to the FY 2006 funding levels, however, the Gov. Brewer emphasized that funding will not drop below the FY 2006 levels.

* Additional proposed reductions include: reduce Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System by 25%; eliminate the KidsCare program; reduce mental health services; eliminate cash assistance for 10,000 families; place a hard cap on day care assistance and eliminate services for for more than 10,000 children of low-income working parents; close the Department of Juvenile Corrections, transitioning the custody of minors to county detention centers and laying off an additional 900 State employees; reduces State employee pay by 5%; and redirect Lottery revenue streams.

FUCKED UP, ISN'T IT? Arizona has definitely overtaken Texas as the incubator for bat-shit crazy right-wing republican policies and "values".

Jan Brewer's handlers and owners are definitely EVIL...

In fact, here are a couple of our local members of the jan brewer fan club:

Don Diamond and 2 of his sons -- Rich, FAT, evil developer sucking up fossil water and city services for his bloated developments full of mcmansions in what used to be the Sonoran Desert:

Jim Click (we know him as Jim Prick) car dealer extraordinaire. He wants more and more and more roads to fill with his fucking cars (including a VERY nice road near our house that he and his buddies plan on widening into a 6 lane urban expressway for his cars to zip through town on a little further north from the LAST 6 lane urban expressway this fuck and his buddies ruined another part of town with!)

And there are a few others. This is a small town, run by a clique of rich fuckers with a supine City Council doing their bidding...

Their bidding consists of sucking up to the war machine (the Mayor is a former Raytheon PR flak!), the tourist industry and developers.
