“All government workers should be on minimum wage”

This comment and a number of others gloating over this idiotic move by Schwarzenegger are from individuals who obviously don’t live or work here.

This will cause the economic depression here in Sacramento to deepen because it will effect those from whom state workers would have purchased goods and services.

Also - some state employees (doctors and lawyers) have been told they will not be paid at all. How many foreclosures do you think that will precipitate?

Personally I think the governor has made the dumbest move of his life - and sadly, will probably help Jerry Brown get elected because of it.

More accurately, if taxes were lowered to a more reasonable level and the state workers whose fates you lament were off the state payroll, then the taxpayers who would then pay less in taxes can purchase those goods and services directly instead of having to launder that money through the State.
