I wonder how many of my good readers make more than $121,391 per year. I wonder how many would be able to live a decent life with that sort of salary. I bet that a good number of my good readers would be happy to take a job that paid that salary, wouldn't you? Well, apparently it's a pittance, according to the State Supreme Court Chief Justice.

Yes, he said that many "good" judges will be leaving the system because they are getting paid so poorly. They've asked for an increase in pay. He actually said, when asking for an increase of the $121,391 annual salary, "I'm just trying to get enough money to get the doors of our courthouses open."

They repeatedly claim that the judges do not make as much as lawyers, and that judges are going to "retire" and take jobs as lawyers. Go ahead, I say. There's no mention about how the so-called "average" salary of lawyers is determined, and if they factor in class-action lottery lawsuit awards into that average, of course.

Well sure, we're giving raises to legislative assistants, billions more to schools and administrators, tons more cash to social programs, tens of millions in personal spending accounts for government employees, so why not give more to every single person that even looks at government? Of course, we can't build roads, we can't hire enough police officers to enforce laws, and we can't find fiscal discipline in Raleigh, but very obviously, that is NOT what the Democrat North Carolina Legislature cares about.

Idiots. STOP SPENDING MY MONEY!
