It looks like some FAT surround the Texas state capital ("beltway") in Austin has been trimmed. I'm sorry people are losing their jobs but something has got to give.

As reported in the Austin American-Statesman and other Texas news outlets, "The cuts were made to deal with reduced state tax revenue caused by the national economic downturn. The Legislature decided to cut spending by $15.2 billion rather than increase taxes or spend all of the $9.7 billion rainy day fund."

“We need employees who can adapt to change.”

You’re fired! Now adapt to that change!

It the dept. could function without these people why were they there in the first place?

The sanctuary City of Fort Worth needs to trim the fat, too. We’ve got garbage police and an international advocate for homosexuality, funded by the taxpayer to harrass the taxpayer.

The entire TSA should be eliminated. Texas would have an income surplus if we did away with socialized schools and had a capitalist school industry. Socialized schooling is no more justified than socialized medicine. The arguments for both are the same.

Eliminate socialized schooling.
