It's simple and very disappointing math. When things are good, they keep expanding the government and much goes unnoticed. When things are bad, they cut nothing and say we're broke.
Our Town and County governments are run the same. Otsego County NY is crying the blues and just raised taxes by 7% to 30% depending on exactly what town. And, at the same time they gave 5 year, retroactive raises to all the county workers to settle with the labor union (CSEA). So, we tax-payers now have to support five years of raises going backwards along with all the forward raise promises. This at at time when they could fire everybody, cut pay and benefits by 20%, and there would be lines a mile long full of people wanting those jobs. Unemployment in the USA right now is hovering around 20%, not the make-believe numbers the government uses. That's a lot of people looking for work if their unempoyment benefits ever run out. By the way the house and five acres I bought is in northern Michigan. Another government going broke and refusing to make real cuts. I also had a chance to buy a large farm house, five arces of tilled fields, two large pole barns and a huge dairy barn and silo - all for $15,000. I was tempted but don't want to take on any more tax burdens. $15,000 though was one heck of a deal.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
