$110,000 a kid?!?!

The Texas Youth Commission is spending $110k per kid under the current system. You know, the one that does not work, is in corruption overload and still living with the shame of abuse. Senator Whitmire has a different idea. He said it would cost about half of what the state is paying now.

Half-off! I love the sound of that! I love me a bargain. (source)

Famous last words?

Remember the headline a couple of weeks ago that Austin's economy would be spared from this economic downturn that dare not speak its name? Here are the headlines from today's news in Austin:
Dell to lay off 900 people
Motion lays off 18% of workforce in Austin
New home starts at 5 year low
Food prices on the rise
Oil down, gas prices hit record

Nope...nothing but rosy economic news all around. Someone pass the champagne!
