Well, facing a $1-billion defecit in its upcoming budget Louisiana’s legislature threw itself into a do-or-die crisis meeting and spent two weeks and beaucoup dollars attacking the problem. You propbably guessed it by now – they accomplished nothing, the $1-billion hole is still there.

Is Louisiana required to have a balanced budget?
LikeLiked by 3 people
Problem is the state’s budget is based on projected tax revenues and regardless of the governor’s budget proposal or the legislature’s it all comes down to revenue generation.
We had ‘temporary’ taxes levied for the last budget mess and one side wants to reinstate them while the other side wants to cut spending.
So much of the state’s budget is unrealistically based on projected petro severance tax that when oil prices drop the budget gets a kick in the butt. A 2019 budget will be based on the price of oil being ‘X’ per barrel and it wouldn’t be unusual for the guestimated price of oil to be ‘fidged; upwards to help balance the budget.
The state has also given so many huge tax breaks to businesses/industry to set up in the state that they lose a big chunk of their tax base for years.
The governor has a line item veto capability so he can balance by slashing spending BUT only those items not earmarked and most of those earmarks not only make up a large part of the budget but are heavily fluff pieces set up by legislators for their supporters.
We expect colleges and medical care to take yet another major hit.

I’ve played a few Steinway’s and would love to play one again some day, but never a trombone or drums or clarinet.
The only Steinway’s I’ve played were without their owners’ permission. I had the keys to their condos in the priciest condo in Boston. I was just delivering their mail. But it’s a Steinway. Am I supposed to ignore it?
I used to know how to do scales on a trumpet, and a cornet. In 6th grade.

No, you’re never supposed to ignore a Steinway! LOL!
A piano anywhere would be tempting…afterall, you don’t want them to get out of tune and cost the owner big bucks to restore. But, then, a lot of people consider their piano just a piece of furniture.
Re Hackett, he started off playing the violin, then went to trumpet and lastly the cornet. Seems to me he also played the trombone, but I’m not sure about that.

My town, back in the day, made Everett Pianos. The factory is a “brownfield” right now. Nonexistant and non-developable for decades. I’ve played a few.
I know where one is, outside, in a doorway, but still gets a snowbank on it every winter.
I’ve heard some amazing things come out of that piano. When the snowbank melts, it still works. And some anon obviously maintains it well.
If you live in a city or town, think about a public piano. It’s a neat thing to behold, because you never know who is going to sit down at that thing.
I know where another is, too. I could play it tomorrow. It’s in a hotel lobby.

I had a long day today towung the kiddo with me. Taxes and more all day. I bought him an antique kids desk and chair, although I dont think early 1950s is that old but I guess it is. From the original owner who used it himself in astounding good condition. Solid wood, dovetail joints, almost no damage. He saved it for his kids or grandkids and no one wanted it. Can you believe that?! Repurpose it even jeez. Kiddo was super excited to get it hopping around and everything.
He understands its old but that makes it better.
Are your families interested in vintage or antiques? Or am I a crazy mom for loving non new stuff? I think I gave him the bug…

I think it’s great that you got him a desk made of real wood, and probably by Americans! Technically, it’s not an antique until it is 100 years old, but that’s not too long now. My bed is solid maple, made in Canada, and about the same age. My sister bought it when she was first married. It has carved maple leaves on the head board and on the matching dressers.

I love antiques, I used to love to go poking around the stores and malls, mostly just looking but occasionally finding a treasure.

Nowadays instead of buying I’m mostly getting rid of stuff. None of my sons inherited my love of old things. Yet. I didn’t get hooked on antiques until my mother died and I had to spend so much time going through her things.

My mother had my grandmother’s china cabinet. It is one of those that is high on each side with the middle section lower and a curved glass front. It is a beautiful old piece. It was supposed to go to my brother, but he lived on a boat so Mama kept it for him. When he died, my mom said it was to go to his daughter. But, when Mom died my niece didn’t want it, so I have it and I love it.
I also have my paternal grandmother’s Duncan Phyfe style couch, along with a small bookcase, a three section dressing table, and a few tables of hers. These things were shipped to FL when my grandparents moved to be near my parents, then, after their deaths, shipped to CA, then back across country to GA, then to NY, and back down to TN where it started. The interesting part is that the large mirrors on the dressing table did not get broken. I love all my old furniture.

I especially love this one. It has three large mirrors and the two outside ones can be adjusted. Also, the one in the middle is longer and the little shelf is very low, so it is almost a full length mirror. I loved sitting at it when I was a little girl visiting my grandparents. She had a big airy room with large windows and those pretty ruffled curtains. It was like something out of a Victorian picture. It was that dark brown/black stain that was so popular way back. I have had it for almost 40 years and finally painted it an antique yellow. With trepidation. But, I am not sorry. It really stands out, pretty and bright, and I love to sit there.

I’ve been housebound most of the day, Menagerie, and have been thinking about kitchens and granddaughters and scent memories. My grandmother was one of 11 children of Italian immigrants. I still remember walking up what seemed like endless steps to her apartment in NYC, looking with wonder at the hexagonal tiles on the floors in the stairwells and smelling ‘gravy’ cooking mixed with distinct notes of garlic, provolone and salami.
But when I close my eyes and picture her, I get a distinct whiff of percolating coffee on the stove surrounding Ivory soap floating in the kitchen sink where she would bathe me. I couldn’t have been more than three years old but to this day, real percolated coffee reminds me of her.

Teachers whine so much anymore that I pretty much tune it out if I ever hear anything about teachers. I guess I should have been listening as I guess they’re planning on striking. If I was in charge I’d tell them to strike, but they better hope they have enough paid leave to support them while they’re striking. Then I’d really get parents pissed by extending school as many days as needed during summer break.
I’m not in charge, so I figure the state will cave and our taxes will be getting raised.
I’m sorry that I’m not sympathetic, but when you decide on getting a teaching degree you know what the salary is, if you don’t like it choose a different profession.

Seen on Facebook:
Saw this challenge by one Pete P.:
“Now if Trump abandons his tariff plans maybe companies will stay here. They’re a disincentive to manufacture here.”
To which one Paul Strauss brilliantly responded:
“What are they going to do? Go make goods overseas and pay the tariffs to sell back to the US? Here’s a little perspective: The tariffs Trump is proposing (25% on steel imports and 10% on aluminum imports) would add about a half cent to the cost of a can of beer/soda and $160 to the cost of a $36,000 car — which is why the stock market continues to go up since Trump announced his tariffs.
Total U.S. GDP is $18.5 TRILLION.
China’s total GDP is $8 TRILLION.
They don’t want a trade war with us. A trade war with China would hardly be noticed by us, but would be devastating to China.
Trump’s trade policies are mainly aimed at China — which is the real bad actor in the trade game.
China’s tariffs on most U.S. products are 30-35%
China also uses what it calls Quarantine Inspection Permits to block U.S. agricultural products from coming into China.
China uses a host of other tricks to block U.S. access to China’s markets.
Very few of our companies are big players in China precisely because China blocks our products from its markets.
Plus, I don’t think we want to be making our tanks, ships and weapons with Chinese steel or build our bridges and skyscrapers with Chinese steel.
In addition, China steals our intellectual property. Often China requires our companies (especially our tech companies) to give them their intellectual property to do business in China.
The EU doesn’t treat U.S. products fairly either.
EU countries charge U.S. car companies a 10% tariff on our cars.
We only charge a 2.5% tariff on cars made in Europe.
EU countries charge a 30% tariff on U.S. clothing and shoes.
For dairy products, the EU charges a 50% tariff.
For grains, the EU charges us a 55% tariff.
Some agricultural products, the EU charges tariffs as high as 330%
We mostly charge a 10% tariff on their agriculture products sold here.
Trump wants to even out the trade playing field.
Tariffs would also incentivise foreign companies to build factories here to avoid the tariffs.
Trump is also using the tariff threat to get a better NAFTA deal for us. I bet he succeeds.
Before the 16th Amendment was ratified in 1909 empowering the federal government to collect income taxes, the U.S. government was financed almost entirely by tariffs. Foreigners paid for our federal government, including our military.
THE RESULT: The U.S. economy was the fastest growing economy in human history. We need to go back to that system . . . and eliminate federal taxes on U.S. citizens.
Tariffs is how we get Mexico to pay for the wall. Tariffs is how we get foreigners to pay for our military and much of our government. If they want to do business with us (the largest economy in the world, by far), they have to pay our tariff. And I don’t think China or Europe wants a trade war with us.
The USA is 25% of the entire world’s GDP (we’re just 3% of the world’s population). All sensible countries will pay our modest tariffs so they can be included in our system and be part of our club . . . Or they can live in mud huts.”

‘Works’, of course, depends upon your definition of ‘work’. For the European Communists the system worked, they lived the high life while the peasants chased the elusive ‘carrot on a stick’ of the Worker’s Paradise. It worked for Mao, the Kim Dynasty and Pol Pot as they enjoyed adulation and privilege while millions of their beloved minions died miserable deaths. Almost worked for the Obamas too but luckily they went out to pasture before they got to loose their masses upon the productive class.

The murder of political/ideological opponents is an accepted if not integral part of the progressive sociopolitical movement, and dividing races, classes and genders makes the process that much easier.

Our farm is getting smaller, we’re selling out of the bacon makers. The market just doesn’t make it feasible to continue raising pigs. I haven’t bought pork in a long time out of the grocery store so I don’t know how it reflects it, but 35 cents a pound for slaughter size pigs and $15 to $20 for weaning age pigs doesn’t pay the feed bill. We planned on trying to hold out until it went back up, but two years at these prices it just doesn’t make sense.
We have some customers not happy, but like I told them you want our pigs but you want to pay market price, so you’ll have to go to sale barn and buy them at market price. I still won’t buy store pork though, we have one pig ready for butcher now and we kept one baby back to raise for butcher next year. After that if the market still sucks, we’ll pay the $20 from those who haven’t thrown in the towel and raise them up to eat.
DH is going to miss his pigs, but as all of you know I hate pigs so I’m secretly doing a happy dance. First time in years we won’t have pigs.
