are you kidding me?

state lottery sounds fine to me, keep the money tenn. & georga & florida are getting every week.

sounds like another well known politician Announced today that the USPS will stop/revamp Saturday mail deliveries and save 2 billion dollars over a 10 year period. A little while later announced that government was going to provide TracPhones, smart phones to low income and unemployed individuals in order for them to learn basic computer skills and prepare resumes in order to find jobs...Cost only about 500,000,000. One TV article scanned to a very exuberant woman jump and screaming,,,,,,all the folks in Cleaveland that are on Social Security, medicaid and welfare gonna get smart phones.

just to pay for freebies handed out. they will also find something else to tax if this goes thru. it won't stop. ridiculous. no to new taxes. have those receiving phones pay something. why should we that work pay for their extras.

ridiculous

I knew they would want to be taxing something. Just did not know what it would be.
