Jesus Christ Muleman... you just keep amazing me with your piles of steaming dung.
How many of those prisoners that costing $32,000 - $35,000 a year are actually working for huge corporations? The private prisons are making money off our prison industrial complex. Maybe if the politicians weren't so interested in kow towing to lobbyists a deal could be worked out to where prisoners had to pay their own room and board. How's that for a solution?
Your right wing typical solution is hypocrisy. No abortion! Wait until they grow up and then lets kill them.

You have to crawl back to an opinion piece from 2008?
Sad son.
“How many of those prisoners that costing $32,000 - $35,000 a year are actually working for huge corporations?â€
- Zero.
“The private prisons are making money off our prison industrial complex. “
- So your solution is to raise taxes on the law abiding citizens?
“prisoners had to pay their own room and board. How's that for a solution?â€
- you cannot collect money from people who have no money
So again, you are against the death penalty but have no solution for what to do with the murderers.
Again, you have nothing. You had a fart, not a thought.
Wow. You really are thick.
Prisoners are currently being employed by large corporations. The corporations pay the prisoners slave wages. The corporations are who I am saying should be paying more for the labor. The corporations who are paying slave wages should be paying for the upkeep of the prisoners. How do you get raising taxes on private citizens from THAT?!?
You are truly a moron. I might as well be talking to a beach ball. I've never, in my life, come across anyone as dense as you Mule.

Murderers are not employed by any corporation dumbass.
Private prison operating companies are far more efficient and can house prisoners for far less money than the state can. Obviously you don’t want private companies from running prisons so the state would have to therefore costing taxpayers much more.
You are the one against the death penalty. You are the problem and still have no solutions.
good, well, maybe the private prisons will have room for ex- hippie ultraconservative pot-heads who voted against marijuana reform candidates, and then got busted by the Nazis they support. Duh!

Worth noting that after months of stalling from Senate Republicans, Eric Fanning has finally been confirmed as the Army secretary, making him the first openly gay leader of any U.S. military service.
Wonder how many people will now object to serving in the Army because it violates their "religious liberty" to not have to take orders from a "sexual deviant"?

I'm going to take a wild guess and sayabout the same number of people who refuse to buy and iPhone because their CEO is gay. In other words, zero. (Ok, maybe Muleboy would say that he would refuse to join the military for that reason, except we all know the real reason is that he is a pansy chicken hawk.)

I might add being a yankees fan to the things I might judge you for, but otherwise this nails it. 😛
Guess How Much That Anti-LGBTQ Law Is Costing North Carolina
In March, North Carolina state legislators banned transgender people from peeing in the bathroom of their choosing. According to the law, HB2 or the “bathroom bill,” when you’re in public building—a government agency, a public school, whatever—the gender listed on your birth certificate is the only one that matters. You remember the initial hubbub: North Carolina and the federal government suing each other, the boycotts and the hashtags and the Bruce Springsteen concerts cancelled.
In spite of that, North Carolina’s government hasn’t repealed the law, and this week, the state lost high-profile sporting events, too, as the ACC and the NCAA pulled their championship games out of the state in protest. (If the NCAA is looking at you sideways, you know you’re doing something shady.) But we’re not here to talk about how the bill is bad and discriminatory. The DOJ made that call months ago. So did popular opinion, both nationwide and in North Carolina itself.
Especially now that the NCAA and ACC joined in the boycott the loss of business represents a significant economic penalty for North Carolina. And it’s North Carolinians, most of whom don’t even support the legislation, who get stuck with the bill. So we decided to figure out how big a bill it is.
The Grand Total
Adding all that up, the total cost to North Carolinians so far from HB2 protests is slightly more than $395 million. That’s more than the GDP of Micronesia. And the bulk of it is from sporting organizations, who even five years ago would likely not have waded into political territory like this. But experts aren’t that surprised that the NBA, NCAA, and ACC have taken this step now. “They’re not out on a limb here,” Durso says. “They’re in line with their base.” The near unanimous outcry against HB2 and in support of the NCAA and ACC confirms that. Legislating discrimination has become an expensive bad habit.

As a resident of NC the past 8 years I've come to the conclusion that it is the most regressive state in the union. HB2, which targets the LGBTQ community, will likely be overturned in the courts. The voter ID law was unanimously struck down with the appeals court saying “The new provisions target African Americans with almost surgical precision” and “impose cures for problems that did not exist. Thus the asserted justifications cannot and do not conceal the State’s true motivation.” Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether North Carolina's 2011 Congressional redistricting plan violated the Constitution by relying too heavily on race in drawing district boundaries. Our Governor and state legislature seem hellbent on taking us back to the good old days of Jim Crow.
