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!
Well then I suggest they donate the money they are spending on these ads.
Feel free to dun your members for the money, “AFSCAM”.
Or maybe you could even convince them to work for no pay and forgo their lavish pensions.
Keep your grubby hands out of our pockets.
People who get paid with other people’s earnings don’t seem to grasp where wealth comes from.
This is pure old featherbedding pure and simple! They’re feathering their own nest!! Government employees are already the most protected species on the planet!!! They are Civil Service! They have one of the richest unions in America! Nobody can fire ‘em!!! They have unlimited access to the megaphone of the media!!! They have unlimited health and huge vested pension benefits beyond all reason... Come ON already... The inmates of the deep state are taking over the danged asylum!!!
I live in the Soviet of Washington, not far from Seattle.
The idea of federal bailout money for State and local government is something that I am against.
Let me explain. Do state and local government’s need the money? Absolutely. But they should be forced to implement painful cuts and live with that for at least a year before any financial help comes.
Local government felt that business and the jobs and tax revenues supplied by business was unimportant. Local officials need to understand what a blessing it is to have a business open, to have someone risk their life’s savings to open a business. Local government needs to understand that without business, they will not have funds to operate local government.
A federal bailout should not happen until state and local governments have learned some harsh lessons.
Government employees live in a socialist world that is disconnected from reality.
Their socialist utopia with health care, retirelements, job security, automatic pay raises, and none of that tied to actual productivity, customer satisfaction, quality, value added in an economic sense...
Sure, they want more money to pay for their world. And who is paying for it?
