every chance they get, also wanting a minimum of $100 per household per
month, fuel prices are out of control and unchecked, and if the
government fucks us like they always do, there will be no unemployment
after Jan 1. Unemployment is very high here as well. BUT,, we have a
whole collection of new government buildings in the city. Totally fucked
up city streets downtown, but new buildings for the government. You
dumbassed government idiots, don't you realize that we the citizens ARE
your source of income? How about throwing US a bone once in a while! Now
back to reality. Welfare is going to get cut, medicaid too, so the stereo
stores and tire shops are going to suffer, without welfare, they won't be
selling as many 18's, ugly wheels, and thumpin stereos, so you can expect
their prices to go through the roof so they can keep making their
profits, priced tires lately? What the fuck happened there??? All these
lousy worthless fucks in Washington are the cause of all this, yes, those
that serve ONE term without paying into social security, and they and
their families are set for the rest of their lives. All of you living on

Trash/Socialism A person makes only so much money. He barely affords the
utilities and rent. The root of all our financial problems of late,
(fuel) prices, is strangling us to begin with. Those fuel prices are
driving up food production and delivery prices which flow right on to the
shelves of the store for us to try to pay. Fuel and food. Now add suck
assed black hills energy and their greed. Add government backed
television which is for most, the only entertainment they can afford, now
this person is out of money. The recession is still and always has been
here since it started-we never came out of it, but the media is told to
tell us we had to boost our spirits which a smart person would know
better, and they do, a recession combined with run away inflation is a no
win situation as is evidenced by the increase in robberies, burglaries,
thefts. So WITH the recession, inflation, and increase in crime, let's
throw in some socialism. Forced trash service. Pure socialism. To the
morons on city council, "WHERE THE FUCK ARE THOSE OF US POOR SUPPOSED TO
GET THE MONEY TO PAY FOR YET ANOTHER THING???? We're not sitting on a
trunk of disposable cash and hording money, and thinking you can make us
let go of some of that imaginary cash is BULLSHIT. Dumbasses,,,,,, we
have no money for what you say we have to have. I'll say it again: WHERE

every chance they get, also wanting a minimum of $100 per household per
month, fuel prices are out of control and unchecked, and if the
government fucks us like they always do, there will be no unemployment
after Jan 1. Unemployment is very high here as well. BUT,, we have a
whole collection of new government buildings in the city. Totally fucked
up city streets downtown, but new buildings for the government. You
dumbassed government idiots, don't you realize that we the citizens ARE
your source of income? How about throwing US a bone once in a while! Now
back to reality. Welfare is going to get cut, medicaid too, so the stereo
stores and tire shops are going to suffer, without welfare, they won't be
selling as many 18's, ugly wheels, and thumpin stereos, so you can expect
their prices to go through the roof so they can keep making their
profits, priced tires lately? What the fuck happened there??? All these
lousy worthless fucks in Washington are the cause of all this, yes, those
that serve ONE term without paying into social security, and they and
their families are set for the rest of their lives. All of you living on

Trash/Socialism A person makes only so much money. He barely affords the
utilities and rent. The root of all our financial problems of late,
(fuel) prices, is strangling us to begin with. Those fuel prices are
driving up food production and delivery prices which flow right on to the
shelves of the store for us to try to pay. Fuel and food. Now add suck
assed black hills energy and their greed. Add government backed
television which is for most, the only entertainment they can afford, now
this person is out of money. The recession is still and always has been
here since it started-we never came out of it, but the media is told to
tell us we had to boost our spirits which a smart person would know
better, and they do, a recession combined with run away inflation is a no
win situation as is evidenced by the increase in robberies, burglaries,
thefts. So WITH the recession, inflation, and increase in crime, let's
throw in some socialism. Forced trash service. Pure socialism. To the
morons on city council, "WHERE THE FUCK ARE THOSE OF US POOR SUPPOSED TO
GET THE MONEY TO PAY FOR YET ANOTHER THING???? We're not sitting on a
trunk of disposable cash and hording money, and thinking you can make us
let go of some of that imaginary cash is BULLSHIT. Dumbasses,,,,,, we
have no money for what you say we have to have. I'll say it again: WHERE
THE FUCK ARE THOSE OF US POOR SUPPOSED TO GET THE MONEY TO PAY FOR YET
ANOTHER THING???? Goddamn dumbassed government fuckheads. WHERE THE HELL
IS THE MONEY GOING TO COME FROM??? DO YOU SHIT MONEY?? I DON'T EITHER, SO
WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GET MONEY TO PAY FOR YOUR SOCIALISTIC BULLSHIT? but
tell the rest of us how making every home have trash service (socialism)
is going to do ANYTHING towards that problem. Magically that problem will
go away because of "Mandatory" trash service? How IS life in lala land?
