I have yet to see any real cuts. Thing that need or could be cut go happily on.
And what is cut are the things that don’t need to be.
But need to show “ See we need more money”

On rare occasions you will get someone in office who really wants to make cuts. A case in point is our new County Exec in Milw, Scott Walker. Then cuts are made w/o cutting out needed services; the fat is removed.

In most cases you are right, and I have been saying the same thing for years (usually screaming at the radio news). The first thing most politicians say when they are asked to cut back is that police and fire will be layed off. Teacher will get pink slips. The gargabe will only be picked up monthly. All the criminals in the prisons will have to be released, etc.

However, does each school need the most high tech, state of the art copy machine every year? Does each branch of the legislature really need their own chaplin? Does the Dept of Ag really need to advertise to get people to sign up for food stamps? In each case no. Yet these items cannot be cut; ever!

Yet the sheeple buy into the scare tactics every time. It is so sad that there is so little critical thought in the general population.
