The states are so broke they can't pay the teachers, but "House Judiciary approves raises for courts

House Judiciary approves raises for courts
Measure hikes salaries between 19% and 43%

http://www.wvgazette.com/News/201102181581

Can't add much content because it's an AP report. But I wonder how we can always afford raises for the well off and powerful, but not for the working class hero?

Six years ago these poor old guys only got a 20 percent and 25 percent raise.(now when was the last time you got a 20 percent and 25 percent raise?) So now they all need a 19 to 43 percent raise, but the teachers don't, the police and soldiers don't, the fire fighters and dog catchers don't, but these judges can't go on sitting on their collective entitled asses, judging all day, without a raise. If there is enough "Inflation" to justify a 19 to 43 percent raise for the judges, then bye damn there's enough inflation to justify a raise for old folks on Social Security.
