Jan Brewer's plan for Arizona
While the thought of taxing the rich fucks who don't contribute ANYTHING to the state while paying NO taxes is anathema to republican jerks like brewer and her handlers (and CCA -- the prison corporation) and most of the supine democrat codependents...

Her plan is to (in order of below):

1) Piss on state employees (let them eat "cake")
2) Cut state parks (AND rest areas! Talk about dumping on tourism)
3) Use Federal Stimulus money while pissing on the Feds for the stimulus
4) CUT, CUT, CUT public education EVERYWHERE from pre-K to college! She didn't need it, why the f*ck should working people get decent education.
5) CUT, CUT, CUT Medicare (that's what AHCCCS is here), Kill Kid's Health Care, People with mental health issues should "get it together on their own", put 10,000 more families on the street, put 10,000 MORE low wage working people out on the street, Close Juvenile corrections and put the kids in the county jails with the real "criminals" (another unfunded mandate to the cities and counties), steal lottery money from schools to state subsidies for rich corporations...

* According to the governor's proposed budget plan, in an effort to eliminate the state's budget deficit she has recommended a mandatory 5 percent pay cut for state employees.

* In January 2010 an Arizona oversight board voted to close 13 state parks in an effort to ease the state's looming budget deficit. Since July 2009 the state legislature cut approximately 61% of the state parks budget.

* In order to avoid major budget cuts to Public Safety the governor has proposed using $20 million in federal stimulus dollars to "fund grants for local public safety to help cities and towns."

* Education funding, according to the proposed budget, will be reduced to the FY 2006 funding levels, however, the Gov. Brewer emphasized that funding will not drop below the FY 2006 levels.

* Additional proposed reductions include: reduce Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System by 25%; eliminate the KidsCare program; reduce mental health services; eliminate cash assistance for 10,000 families; place a hard cap on day care assistance and eliminate services for for more than 10,000 children of low-income working parents; close the Department of Juvenile Corrections, transitioning the custody of minors to county detention centers and laying off an additional 900 State employees; reduces State employee pay by 5%; and redirect Lottery revenue streams.


FUCKED UP, ISN'T IT? Arizona has definitely overtaken Texas as the incubator for bat-shit crazy right-wing republican policies and "values".

Jan Brewer's handlers and owners are definitely EVIL...

In fact, here are a couple of our local members of the jan brewer fan club:

Don Diamond and 2 of his sons -- Rich, FAT, evil developer sucking up fossil water and city services for his bloated developments full of mcmansions in what used to be the Sonoran Desert:



Jim Click (we know him as Jim Prick) car dealer extraordinaire. He wants more and more and more roads to fill with his fucking cars (including a VERY nice road near our house that he and his buddies plan on widening into a 6 lane urban expressway for his cars to zip through town on a little further north from the LAST 6 lane urban expressway this fuck and his buddies ruined another part of town with!)



And there are a few others. This is a small town, run by a clique of rich fuckers with a supine City Council doing their bidding...

Their bidding consists of sucking up to the war machine (the Mayor is a former Raytheon PR flak!), the tourist industry and developers.

2. The education situation is dire.
Arizona is dead last among US states in per pupil funding of education - even behind Mississippi! In this case you truly get what you pay for. It's heartbreaking what has happened to this state.

3. They won't say it but they are thinking, "Why bother to educate them if there
isn't going to be any jobs for them later on".

11. Not only underfunding education
but this batch of fascists also passed a law (for Tom Horne -- the execrable piece of shit republican ex-state school superintendent who's running for AG) that Horne hopes would outlaw one of the most successful programs here in Tucson, the Ethnic Studies program at Tucson High.

They not only hate poor and working people and don't want to pay for their education (we're number FIFTY! We're Number FIFTY!) but they hate successful education programs too.

15. Honestly, I'm as nervous about the SoS race as I am about the governor's.
Horne's a disaster who has used his postion to do nothing more than campaign.

5. Terry Goddard
As messed up as Jan Brewer's plans for Arizona are, her democrat Opponent Terry Goddard will probably not be up to task of getting downright, nasty and aggressive and convince people how disasterous her plans for Arizona really are!!

9. He's not really up to the task of much of anything...
And frankly most of the white, retirees here in the New Mississippi just want the Feds to go away, keep their hands off of their Medicare and Social Security and let them wear their guns where ever they feel like.

Most of the old, white electorate that keeps voting this slime in don't give a crap about children or poor people since they have their retirement income, health care and their children are "all grown and moved out"...

And they vote...

12. The Teabagger BS writes itself. Dems it seems don't have the guts to call them on it.
It's the thing that is most disappointing me with them. I've read that they plan on holding it back until the end, but you have to drumbeat to average people that these cretins are simply wacko and liars to boot.
