Hey, guess what-- New Mexicans are poor! Isn’t that astounding? I am gobsmacked. The 20.8 percent poverty increase between 2012-13 here has absolutely nothing to do with our governor. You see, poverty is very very complex, and our governor is very very simple. Remember that please.
One issue that keeps us back is small business finance. There’s only one place to get a business loan in New Mexico, and that’s Payday Loanster. Payday Loanster is owned by some good Arizona friends of the governor. The nice folks there at the local Loanster office will help you learn what signing in blood is all about. Strangulation of the local credit markets of course has nothing to do with our governor, remember that please.
How about education, another area of possible poverty causes? Again, we must demur, this education stuff, the fact that the whole state population lags behind the nation while the governor harps on about third grade reading scores, the mania for testing, the push toward privatization, selling testing and other assessment services to the governor’s good friends, Hanna the Hun, all this has nothing to do with our beloved governor. Please keep that in mind.
We also have more single-parent families right here in NM, and you know what that means. That’s right, all these people are doomed to statistical failure and that’s why they all are on welfare living off the fat of the desert! When they do seek assistance, they will find people in suits from Arizona. These are the new state health providers who are all good friends of the governor, who it must be kept carefully in mind have nothing to do with the governor. Please do keep this in mind.
How about the fact that New Mexico inherits a glorious tradition of feudal subsistence agriculture, a proud tradition dearly loved because when folks are both ignorant and poor, it is much easier to take what little is left from them, especially remaining social services, which are all such a terrible waste of money. And if they can’t be taken away, at least these services can be degraded. They aren’t really people anyway, those semi-humans in the hinterlands, and that is most comforting, but the governor, it must be recalled has nothing whatsoever to do with such comforts. As you enter the voting booth this fall, please do keep all this in mind, that is if you have an ID to prove you are a human being and not another computer.
Some kind readers have wondered where I get all my inside information. They have questioned my veracity and the fact I have indulged in name calling, hyperbole, falsification, libel, slander, bloviation, and rank insincerity. Yes, I respond, but it’s all in the service of TRUTH. So what have we learned from our exciting adventure in fact gathering?
1.) The causes of poverty in New Mexico are very very complex and the governor has a very very large campaign war chest, so it’s a wash.
2.)You can get a loan at Payday Loanster.
