It seems our state government has no better budgeting skills than any regular Joe. The current dissatisfaction I face stems from having to wait several additional weeks in order to receive my state refund (thanks, Bev). They're holding onto MY MONEY without any sense of compensation. On the flip side, if I had owed the IRS anything, they would instigate a relentless assault to get what they were owed, additionally adding fees, interest rates, and penalties. Now that I'm on their side of the fence, does anyone think for a second that I'll see interest on my return? Is there any way for me to penalize my government for slacking on what they owe me? Of course not. This double standard of putting politicians above the common man is asinine. They work for us. They seem to have forgotten that.<br /><br />In short, I do not approve of Mrs. Perdue. She may be 'doing what she can', but that's not saying much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-16269157598979957352010-02-18T23:24:40.390-05:002010-02-18T23:24:40.390-05:00By October, her approval rating will reach around ...By October, her approval rating will reach around 38%. She's working hard to overcome initial impressions, which were not favorable. Such impressions are hard to surmount, but Reagan and Clinton did it on a national scale and Perdue will be able to do it on the state level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
