Last time we left off with mentioning the $1 trillion deficit in the president's proposed Budget beginning Oct., 1, 2012.

This letter is in response to Randy Brooks' letter to the editor titled "The truth behind AP exams." First, let me say how proud I am that one of Central High School's students has the grit and determination to use this medium to express his displeasure with, what he believes, to be an injustice in our manner of operating.
Obviously when the presenter of the budget does not really want it to be passed it then becomes no budget.
Yippee.
Most business people are more familiar with KISS, an acronym meaning to "Keep it simple, Stupid." This originated as a principle of systems design, but then was co-opted by sales trainers as a sales tactic, meaning don't make a sales presentation more complicated than it needs to be. Less is better. But its original meaning as an engineering concept is a better starting point to aid us in an analysis of how and why the role and function of our 21st century government eclipses the intellectual grasp of even well-educated citizens.
This proposed budget for 2013 of $3.8 trillion is a farce. Sen. Reid, the senate majority leader, already said that he does not intend to bring it up for a vote. Last year when he brought the president's budget up for a vote it failed 97-0.
Seen from a certain altitude — that of Washington wits far removed from most crises of family life — the emerging Republican campaign against birth control is merely a weapon in the party's campaign against the new health care law.
Rarely do bills that reach the Florida Senate floor go down to defeat. By the time leaders schedule a vote, they can generally guarantee the outcome. So when they scheduled a vote this week to privatize state prisons in 18 South Florida counties, those of us fighting this deeply flawed plan caught our breaths. By our reckoning, the Senate was tied, 20-20.
Just like China's communist regime keeps dreaming of swallowing up Taiwan regardless of what its citizens want, Argentina's president refuses to let go of her yearning to own and occupy the British Falkland Islands.
When I was a little kid, I listened reverently as my father told me often about the long distances he had to walk as a child to get to school.
So it is about contraception, after all.
Modern parents expect schools to provide all the services that they deem important. They have been lead to believe that their children are entitled to the best education money can buy and their child's school experience should be defined by them not the school.
Gov. Rick Scott might as well accept the facts of life: He can't buy respect from the left.
Syria can murder thousands of people while the rest of the world looks on — or should I say looks away.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" so states the first lines of the First Amendment.
Susan G. Komen For the Cure is a marvel of modern marketing. It turned the entire month of October pink and even turned the word "pink" into a verb that means, or meant, linking a brand to the multi-billion charity campaign known for breast cancer awareness.
Socialist/Communist anarchists, whether through greed, ignorance, ambition or some mix thereof, are seemingly tireless in their subversive efforts.
While President Barack Obama's spokesman Jay Carney busily publicizes an upcoming White House dinner to honor service members who served in Iraq, the Obama administration is quietly seeking to deprive military families of the right to sue government doctors for malpractice.

Did you hear the public outcry last year about voting having become too easy? Or that early voting offered too much flexibility? Or that letting school teachers help students register to vote made things way too convenient?
The American people have remained silent while laziness has taken firm root in our society. This acceptance of laziness is contrary to the established "American Dream." Our citizens are given an opportunity to reach their goals through diligent effort, not by being lazy and demanding entitlements. We Americans have worked our way up the ladder, saving a significant portion of our wages for investment in our own future.
It is a tragedy that Planned Parenthood, which masquerades as a support service for women's health issues, could ever have gained a positive reputation in American society. It is an even greater outrage that hundreds of millions of federal tax dollars are funneled into the group's coffers every year.
County commissioners aren't happy being forced to craft another budget with spending cramped by falling tax revenues and costs of everything else going the opposite direction.
