Kasich's version of who to take from and who to give to.

Along with stripping state workers of their right to fairly bargain wages, Kasich gave his chief of staff a $47,000 dollar a year raise for $122,990 to $170,000. That's more than the Attorney General, Speaker of the House, Auditor, Treasurer or Senate President.

The Communications Director will make $120,000, up from $89,003. That's more than some cabinet holders. A RAISE of nearly $31,000.

The Press Secretary will get $90,000, an increase from $69,992. A RAISE of over $20,000.

And Kasich has created a state job, that didn't exist, "special assistant", paying $145,000 for Jai Chabria who was person 2 in John Kasich’s “two person office” in Columbus when they both worked for Lehman Brothers. Remember Lehman Brothers? That company that help bring the economy down in '08, where he continued to work until they locked the doors behind him in bankruptcy?, In 2002 he made the introductions using his political connections which resulted in an investment of $480 million from the state pension fund and he was paid a bonus of $400,000 of his $587,175 '08 salary. What do you think became of that investment the state of Ohio made with Lehman through Kasich's contacts after the stock market crash?

I want to ask pro SB5 working class people why they aren't outraged about this, instead of trashing a union like OAPSE, who's workers average salary is $24,000 and whose average pension is less than $900 dollars a month?

My next topic will be outsourcing. 

I'll end this article and begin the next one with a reminder about his years as a member of the Board of Directors at Invacare  where our dear Governor Kasich personally signed off on a policy of outsourcing jobs from Ohio to China and Mexico.

It's possible to learn about what compainies are lobbing now state contracts. It's on the Office of the Legislative Inspector General website.

I also need to write about the role evangelical christianity is playing in this administration and how it is the underpinning to every thing Kasich and those he's bringing into government.

A perfect example is the uber christian oil and gas industry insider he hired to run the Department of Natural Resources.

Ohio is NOT broke.

Ohio is not broke! We the people know where the money is, we know where it goes. We're a consumer driven economy. We the working class buy stuff and it goes into the pockets of the investor class. Look at corporate profits. Look at Wall Street, look at the stock market. Look at CEO pay and you'll know who has money and who doesn't. The Wall street is back to where it was in late 2007. How come we the people are not back to where we were in late 2007? Why are the rich continuing to get richer even in hard times and we are ask to endure the consequences of massive state budget cuts? The answer is the same as it has been since the beginning of the industrial age, but never more emphatic than after the 2010 elections. The reason we can't ask the investor class to pay their fair share, even on a short term basis is simply because when asked, they say "no". It's as simple as that.They just say "no". They say "no" to the Republ...

Attached to the USS Handcock

I guess you could say I was attached in a way because my dad flew off the Hancock during this time. His jacket has that emblem on the back of it. Until recently I thought when he said he was among the first Pilots to take off with steam catapults that he was talking about World War II. But recently I discovered that the Randolph was the first carrier to use steam catapults. Maybe they use some different kind of catapult in late World War. But you can see in the footage here is of the Catapult test sleds. You also see that in some of the footage here the Skyraider being launched by the catapult off a different carrier and it's wheels are in the air before they hit in the end of the deck. There's footage from the Randolph that shows F9F cougars being catapult launched and tipping down towards the sea as they gained airspeed followed by an unassisted Skyraiders rumbling down the deck with its wheels in the air before it gets to the end. LOL  maybe you could let let a Skyraider Lum...

Inside the last minute of zero hour, Republicans tap out and cry "UNCLE!" on Obama care repleal!!

   By Jack Warner The fifteen million Americans that got insurance they didn't have before, and the ten million more that would have been kicked off plans, should be giving the sigh of relief heard round the world. What a thrill it was when watching C-Span this afternoon headed for that 3:30 vote when I saw someone walk to the speaker dais and hand a note to the Pro tempore at 2:29 and I realized they were pulling the bill and Republicans were spared being forced to vote and having an opponent run against that vote no matter which way it went. Their greatest fears would have been Republican primary challengers. Now they get to crawl back in there dark dank cave or holes in the ground waiting until Trump's "no amount of money is enough money" greedmongers call them out again to shill a "Tax Reform" bill. I've heard that in  some obscure ancient language "Tax" means "New" and "reform" means "Gulfstream G600" (N...
