I'm a Libertarian living in Humboldt County, CA. I've lived here in Eureka since 1973 and joined the Libertarian Party in 1992. This blog will mostly focus on local political issues, but I may stray into state and national issues as well, when I can't help myself. Please post your comments by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom of each post. Although I do moderate comments, you need not be a registered user to post them.
An informative commentary in the Press- Democrat that explains where the money from last year's tax increases will be going. A hint: mostly for pension benefits, health care and debt obligations.

Good news then. People who worked hard their entire lives deserve their pensions. All people deserve healthcare. And we should live up to our debt obligations.
Even if it breaks the state, huh? As the commentary pointed out, the new tax increases won't pay the full pension obligation. And while they're struggling to pay the pension debt, all other government services will suffer.
Moody's is considering using a new formula to rate municipal finances that takes into a account real government pension debt. That could end up showing up to 3 times the debt that we're currently expecting:

So, any guesses as to who enough local public employees want to continue voting into office at every level? You guessed it, those treasonist types of elected officials who endorse stealing from Peter to Pay-off Paul for the launderings and wastes of tax dollars. Yet, another reason for small and limited government as much as possible considering the population overloads and needs. - HOJ
Like many of the ideas promoted by Antichrist, while it sounds good on the surface and "promotes" fairness, hidden underneath is a sinister purpose, a mixture of good and evil, which makes men the slaves of men. Rerum Novarum started the modern day union movement. Now people "deserve" others to pay for their retirement. Contrary to the express statement of God that said, "in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life." Now we have an Antichrist stacked supreme court that "mandates" health care for everyone. But not really, it just lines the pockets of the medical institutions and pharmaceutics which are largely invested in by the "church." Why don't we just start selling indulgences again?

Here is an example of the two-party Anti-Christ types who lie through e-mails, purporting that HOJ (jeffrey Lytle) supports the Democratic fascist regime and Obama:
Hi Jeffrey - I recently took over as DSCC chair, and my staff let me know that you were
a major backer. I know President Obama is immensely thankful for all you've done.

But when I took the reins, my staff informed me of our current monetary
circumstances. I'll be honest: Beating Karl Rove and the Republicans was incredible,
but the $145 million cost completely emptied our bank account.
Now, President Obama needs you and me to stop a Republican takeover once again. It's
expected to cost a staggering $200 million--and we have zero in our reserves.
Re-building our foundation is critically important; that's why I need your immediate
help today.

with the Republicans and prevent a GOP takeover. And if you join from this email,
we'll throw in a free "I'm with Barack" sticker!

Not true that all people deserve healthcare, pensions benefits and that they are due this stuff for hard work. Fact is, government work is not hard, unless you are one of the few dirtying your finger nails while working outside (ie. County Public Works Departments, Cal-Trans , etc.. where most of these employees work harder than the perfumed and cologned elitist wannabees who perch their butt in chair as only desk jockeys could do - HOJ
