'Shut Up!' - Really GOP?

Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee,
has already proposed privatizing Social Security, slashing Medicaid and
voucherizing Medicare. This year, he's on a rant about the poor. He
thinks programs like food stamps that put food in the stomachs of poor
children are bad for them. Ryan recommended decimating food stamps
before, so this time the Republican budget may simply eliminate food for
the poor altogether.

Deflation preceding the crash....imagine that!  It wasn't until after The Depression was over that it was called The Depression somewhere in '45 I believe.  Could this be an indicator of what's to come?  Government says no.  They're never wrong or is that never mislead?

75% of Americans tip less than 20% in most restaurants.  Some 11% tip nothing, 35% tip less than 10%, and 29% tip between 10% and 19%. Only 23% tip 20% or more.

While I usually do tip around 20% I was always taught that 15% was customary.  Of course with pressure on the oligarchs to share their money it makes sense to create propaganda that encourage the poor people to part with their hard earned money to make up that difference instead of paying better wages.

You may find yourself extremely surprised at what and who you're suppose to tip according to this little ditty.

Has the library come up against it's match against the internet as the newspapers and magazines of the world have? 

Governor Bobby Jindal has eliminated the entire library budget in Louisiana.  Is your state next?​

If
the libraries are eliminated what happens to people that don't have
access to the internet either because they're living in the Midwest of
the US where DSL and Cable are not even options or they just can't
afford it?  In 2014, here in the US, people still don't have broadband. 
If they can afford it they're still using dial-up on their 56k modems.​
