It will be nice to see all the Obamanazis in local governments who thought they were immune to economic downturn get theirs. Unfortunately the first to get cut are likely the services I use such as the police and fire departments. The few things a government should be doing will be cut to the bone before they get rid of the second assistant to the diversity outreach coordinator.
In addition, govt. employment is paid for by those who make something, that is create the wealth that is taxed. Govt. employment doesn't create anything other than a job that is overpaid for the production level exhibited.
How, in God's name, can govt. employment be a viable, contributing factor to the economy, when to pay for it the money has to be confiscated from those who don't work for the govt.
The local governments have got the schtick down. They will cut things that are visible and close to the voters. For instance, they will cut the number of people who cut the grass-so much of the grass is left uncut. This is done with the intention of "looking" like they are reducing costs while having the whiners publicly complain about the tall grass at the same time.
