The ex-governor should be billed for the overages. Then, when he doesn't pay up-- and he won't-- the bills should be turned over to a private collection agency which will pester the hell out of him until he either coughs up the money, or they'll take him to court. Either way, he owes the people of Maine a lot of money for being a nut job, and even more for his profligate spending.

I'm curious...when you ask that question, what response do you get?

Do they understand that government employees pay income taxes, too?

And do they understand that an "entitlement" program like social security is not the same as a 401(k) program? Today's workers pay for today's retirees.

These are rhetorical questions, because, no, of course they don't understand.

NO. Moody split the vote the first time. Cutler did it the second time.
