During times of economic hardships, governments seek additional funds by taxing citizens, when they really should be working with the citizens to pare their budgets down. Citizens do not enjoy being asked to pay more in taxes when their personal income is down. As personal income goes down, so does personal spending, which leads to less sales tax dollars. Governments should be looking for better ways to fund their budgets during down periods when citizens cannot afford the taxes in place.
Borrowing is not the issue...spending is the issue. If we curtail our massive spending spree, we will have a chance. Possibly we should create a daily withdraw limit on our politicians, similar to bank ATM's. Lets start by cutting back the budgets of all those working in Washington D.C., who I want to remind everyone work for us. We do not work for them (at least for now anyway...although that could change at the rate our leaders are going).
It is refreshing to read about people who move into the valley. Unfortunately, it is not refreshing to watch our children move out. They have moved out because of no work, because of crime and because of poor reputation. I hate hearing about how nice it is where they live and how they enjoy their new home, and I especially hate hearing them say, " you should move down here too".
Owner Randy Lerner has no choice now but to fire Mangini during the bye week. He cannot allow this bleeding to continue. Firing Mangini and Daboll now will allow the team to find itself, give the rookies a chance to gain playing experience and provide the fans with some hope that this season has not been lost.
Just a comment about weapons...even in a maximum security prison, with all the security, rules, regulations and police, people still find a way to obtain weapons to injure or kill.
This proves that gun control or weapon control does not work. It only weakens the public's ability to protect themselves and provides better opportunities for the criminals.
First Energy is still pushing this issue because one of their brilliant executives purchased 3.75 million bulbs a while back to sell to customers and employees. The plan was a huge flop, so they are trying to use this ploy to unload the bulbs. Problem is, consumers do not go out of their way to buy these expensive bulbs and now Walmart is selling them for half the price that First Energy is trying to sell them for.
The out-of-state casino owners are spending huge amounts of dollars on TV ads to convince us to vote no. Why is that? Think about it. They do not want Ohio competition. And they do not want Ohio dollars to stay in Ohio. These out-of-state interests DO NOT contribute tax dollars to Ohio. VOTE YES to keep Ohio money in Ohio!
Whatever happened in 2007 was a miracle and the team has not been the same since...except they are getting worse. If we thought 2008 was bad, we never dreamed that 2009 would be this horrible!
What happened?
What really, really happened?
Could it possibly be that the 2008 team was that bad, or ... is the team not responding well to the new coaching? Is Anderson really a dork, or are his brain waves scattered and he cannot think during the heat of a game?. Did Brady get benched over an argument with Dabol about his play calling?
My brother seems to think the players are not getting the proper communications, training and instructions from the coaches and that is the reason for their sloppy play. I feel it is a combination of poor coaching decisions and poor execution. Are their schemes too complicated to execute properly? Ryan was a defensive coach for Oakland, where their defense was not that good. Dabol was a quarterback coach and never ran an offense. Mangini was fired as a head coach because the owners did not like his style. His control-freak management style is not winning points with the media, the fans, the players, and the league and it may have been a deciding factor in what new assistant coaches would come on board. He is loosing respect around the league as well as outside of the league.
Why are the "brainy" rookies having a difficult time adjusting to the coaches schemes?
Why is it that Cleveland teams hire managers who have been fired by other teams? If a manager has been fired, there is a problem, right?
Apparently, Cleveland team owners are telling us they are willing to wait for the manager and the team to develop, so look forward to 2 more losing seasons, then the managers will be fired again.

Why does that hurt?
