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.

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.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
