$529/month = $17.40/day to care for foster youth.

The leg just passed the KupunaCare bill (hb607) that will pay $70/day to care for baby boomers, like me.

Hasn't the huge "me generation"  been pampered long enough?
>Well-funded public schools and subsidized college when we were young.
>Massive tax cuts during our earning years, as we elbowed out older workers. 
>Now our senior benefits are sacrosanct and growing, and we insist on holding onto jobs too.

As boomers enter our golden years, it looks like we will again meet our needs at the expense of younger generations.

$70 a day for one of us, but only $17 for a needy kid?

Boomers have the votes and the selfish mindset, so our needs will be met while everything else is cut to the bone. One thing we won't get is the respect of posterity. History will not be kind to us. Sad.
