I've not heard of any police or firefighters being let go. Where is this supposed to be happening?
It is happening in Mr. Soetoro's state, Madiganistan.
Here's the series of jokes here in Madiganistan:
1) The state raids, delays, or reduces sales tax and income tax distribution to local governments.
2) Local governments lay off cops and firefighters.
3) Barry's crowd offers grants for partial salaries for cops and firefighters that goes down by 25% over 4 years, so that cops and firefighters who are hired under this plan are laid off in year 4 anyway.
4) Barry offers more grants to "put cops and firefighters back to work", yet Madiganistan still does not resolve the local tax issues with property tax caps and delay or reduction in sales tax distribution to local governments.
5) Quinnoccio and the Puppet Party jack up income tax by 67% in a lame duck session last year and still do not resolve the shared income tax issues with local governments, with cooperation by the Combine.
6) The Quinnoccio Regime suppressed growth of business, maintains oppressive rules and taxes, businesses leave, and local property taxes and sales tax continue to be suppressed.
In other words, the people of Madiganistan and it's largest city, Rahmabad, ARE EFF'D into oblivion!
Many of us want to annex in to Wisconsin or Indiana.
