Oh, and see that clump of trees there on yonder ridge? Yes, that's right, the one on the ridge bristling with dug-in Yankees. Well, sir, I want you to run across this field here, whilst you get your ass enfiladed from that acursed Rocky Hill, and I want you to touch the tallest tree in that clump, and then run back here and kiss my behind. Because, sir, that's what old Bobby Lee has said you must do. And you must, James, because he is a legend. Run, James, run! Run, with my compliments. Gen. Longstreet James,

For anyone keeping score: we're only in the first year of the downturn and we've already depleted our reserves. United States: Exhibit A for what happens when a RINO is in charge with democrat controlled legislative bodies – BANKRUPT

California: Exhibit B for those that wish to put RINOs in charge with democrat controlled legislative bodies – BANKRUPT

Sadly, South Carolina is Exhibit C – despite attempt after attempt from Governor Sanford to curtail the drunken sailor spending habits of the RINO controlled legislative bodies (my apolgies to the drunken sailors for thecomparison to the South Carolina legislature) – no money in reserves to cushion the current downturn. For anyone keeping score: we’re only in the first year of the downturn and we’ve already depleted our reserves.

Increasing the percentage of prison contract beds from the current 4% to about 9% (like Texas) eliminates the actual prison overcrowding reported by the Legislative Analysist and avoids spending any of the $6.5 in prison construction bonds. It is not complicated except for the influence of the prison employee unions.
