Reid: Full of Hot Air

Share
While I initially intended this to be just about Harry Reid, his son Rory warrants attention as well. The Reids don't live in the real world apparently. Perhaps they recently mistook their state driver's licenses for passports to Disney's Magic Kingdom. In any case, they fantasize because they've not spent much time at sidewalk level lately, if ever.

Harry takes credit for things he did not do. When Nellis AFB put in solar panels, Harry Reid took credit for the project. How was he responsible? Reid routinely reduces the Dept of Defense budget. My father's organization lost 10 million this past month to help pay for extension of unemployment benefits. Nellis built it because it would pay them back within about five years. Now, Reid wants Nellis to put up wind turbines. Why would an Air Force installation consider that? Where do the planes fly if they pepper the flightline and the range with wind turbines? Harry is off his rocker. Nellis does NOT want these.

Rory sees mirages in the distant desert. According to his proposed budget, he can cut government services and EXPAND, not just save, education.
Brian Sandoval is right- his budget assumes revenues that have not been realized because the economy at this time does not support them. Rory projects based on assumptions far beyond the standard curve. If he's wrong, it will exponentially exacerbate the state's financial woes. Rory's predictions are based on revenues that do not currently exist to be paid by people who do not currently come to the state. Partly, they don't come here because Obama told them not to. Then his wife goes off to Spain on vacation with an entourage of dozens instead of vacationing somewhere that would help the American economy.

Perhaps we should build some wind turbines on the floors of legislative buildings to run off all the hot air exhaled by politicians. They make sweeping promises. They recite 'facts' that are more 'hope'. Then, if they win, they will turn to us and give us all the finger.

Get rid of Reid. Both of them need jobs that don't impose things on us without our consent.
