I don't think it needs to come to that! We just need a major reorganization of our financial system, which supports the Progressive nanny-state with debt and money printing. Give us real money, and you immediately end the government's ability to run all its social engineering schemes.
I believe it was Saginaw Michigan that ditched some 500 city employees by privatizing services leaving the city with only 20 full time employees.
That will happen when we change governments. I don’t expect the change in my lifetime.
