I'll bet if you placed a referendum on the ballot asking voters to limit state employee salaries to a maximum of $200,000 per year it would pass. And somehow we would still win ball games and keep the water flowing. This is Indiana. I like to think we have a sensible streak running through us. Do we really believe in the necessity of such exorbitant salaries. To tell you the truth, I think Carey Lykins was the worst possible choice for his position(s) and I wish the man would move on. Ballard letting out million dollar contracts for recycling and public relations. Such waste. We should tear down our empty houses mostly owned by the land bank and make sure our poor are housed and fed. Huge salaries for questionable talent seems wrong to me. People work hard for their money. They want their tax dollars to count. Public servants should earn modest wages.

Those who fail the lessons of Rome are committed to failure. Greed & the illusion of power (that which actually resides at unfamiliar altitude) are pitfalls- not destinations.

Economic literacy owes nothing, nothing, to sophomoric wanting. Economically, we have a gladiator culture that's designed & destined to fail.

There is no party of Constitutionally reconciled or limited government in Indiana; except for the Tea Party, which is really a movement or response to the Romanesque repetition of failure.

Proposals for the wanton expansion (extra Constitutional) of government's waste line or programs, are couched in a language of gibberish & not economics. Reason is not a language of excuse...
