BART Openly LIES About Bond Cost—by $3.5 BILLION and 48 Years

By Stephen Frank on Jul 12, 2016 08:12 pm
If you believe the folks at BART, the cost of the $3.5 billion bond on the November ballot is $3.5 billion.  It is as if Wall Street is going to loan them $3.5 billion and not charge administrative fees or interest—that is a great gift from bankers.  In fact, BART, like most government agencies lie […]

By Stephen Frank on Jul 12, 2016 08:10 pm
Like a bunch of terrorists, the #blacklivesmatter troops decided to close down the 405 freeway in West Los Angeles on Sunday night.

CalPERS LOSES 2% of Assets in 2015–Instead of 7.5% Growth

By Stephen Frank on Jul 12, 2016 08:04 pm
According to CNN, the Stock Market lost 2.2% of its value in 2015.  So, CalPERS losing 2% looks good—except to the taxpayers that will have to make up the difference between the 7.5% return on investment and the 2% loss.  The 9.5% difference adds to the unfunded liability of CalPERS=-which is already over $600 billion, […]

By Stephen Frank on Jul 12, 2016 08:01 pm
This may be the dumbest article EVER.  Kaiser Foundation is now pushing the idea that if we legalize marijuana, the cost of real drugs will go down and the need for real drugs will go down.  AIDS, cancer, heart disease, back problems—just get high on pot and the problem is handled.  Not solved, just makes […]

Sand: The Teachers Unions Faux Grassroots Organizing

By Stephen Frank on Jul 12, 2016 07:59 pm
Astro-turf is both an artificial turf used instead of real grass and a term for the hiring of people to protest pretending they are actually real workers.  Watch a union picket line, before it starts.  On many occasions I watched at the picketers clocked on and then later, clocked out—they were paid to picket a […]

By Stephen Frank on Jul 12, 2016 07:56 pm
Millions of dollars are being spent to legalize marijuana in California.  Colorado and the State of Washington have legalized the drug—making it available to anyone who wants to get high—and stay high, legally.  San Diego, without legalizing methamphetamine is finding that deaths caused by this drug is at a twenty year high. “In 2014, county […]

By Stephen Frank on Jul 12, 2016 07:54 pm
Good news for illegal aliens—it is easy for them to qualify for Food Stamps.  In fact, it is easier for those violating our immigration laws to get food stamps than honest Americans. “The press release announcing the report states: “Although two families may be identical in terms of income and family size, states have the […]

If you want to fill a taco shell, there are plenty of jobs in California.  If you want a well paying job—you need to go to Texas.  While jobs in the service industry are growing very well in the former Golden State—but manufacturing is not doing well.  Technology firms have stabilized and in San Fran […]
