I detect flopsweat.

You mean there's not enough revenue coming in from all the businesses forced to shut down (and still being forced to stay shut) while EVERY municipal employee still got paid?

Say it ain't so!

Stop the lockdown and open up the economy and we won’t need federal bail out debt.

Ask Nancy Pelosi for the money. She just made $6 million on Amazon stock. That’s a start anyway.

It’s about time these people had skin in the game. If the money is not there, they need to be laid off like the rest of America’s workers. If closed businesses and laid-off workers can’t generate tax revenue, these government employees have to be likewise kicked to the curb to join the others who are suffering.

“The coronavirus is leftist power grabbing governors are wrecking state and local budgets.

Fixed it, eff'n lazy ass union employees. Nothing much more that takers. Never built anything in their lives. They just take, and take some more from hard working people that actually do something real with their lives. They are pathetic POSs.

Yep. Let them get laid off and suffer like everyone has had had to. Better yet, no more public sector unions for people like teachers, janitors, secretaries, etc,

Gubbermint employees are the best at enforcing and understanding regulations or laws that are anti-business. They have no concept of supply and demand, risk, customer relations, or return on investment. They are not concerned about the economic impact of their decisions.

They live on the back of those that are actually productive.

Their value is merely theoretical, abstract, in many cases emotional but what did the EPA really active when shutting down the last lead acid battery factory in Texas? Some essential services have a value, but that is the MINORITY share of the government budget. What do they achive busting a pot grower? What do they really achieve regulating drones? What did they achieve with their ridiculous FAA medical standards years past for a private license? What do they achieve with most of their local cops writing tickets all day long...

Ultimately, the bigger the government, the smaller the citizen because most of these jobs in government are in some fashion about taxing or regulating the private sector, or they are in defense and a massive security appararus.

Government only does two things: consume and redistribute wealth. Thwy don’t create wealth.

City, county, and state budgets will have a +25% revenue shortfall so far this year. Public employee unions hit hardest - - on the backs of taxpayers.

Who will blink. Will taxpayers bend over and pay dramatically higher property and other taxes - - or will the mob be stopped, and union goons fired.

Okay, but not for Democrat run cities where they let rioter run wild destroying everything in sight and then want taxpayers from other states to pay for the damage.

Plummeting tax revenues from businesses & individuals. Ending of foreclosure moratoriums (property taxes for schools, etc.)

The list is long, I’m sure.

Let governments lay off ALL employees, if you want to see the shutdown end.

Running out of our money.
Prices dropping here, especially gasoline.
Gasoline would be under a dollar with homeschooling.
