sweet!
should of nearly all been laid off from the start!
I mean.. if it saves ONE life!
*cough*
now that the GOVERNMENT employees are starting to lose THEIR jobs, you KNOW the end is near!
ROFL
Embrace the SUCK, JERK!
Unable to give a rats ass.

GIMME!
Good.
Well then go to phase one a-hole.
This will not happen but it should. Public workers with their large safe pensions have been shielded from this crises and all the others. They are happy to lock down everyone. They have nothing to lose. Their retirement is guaranteed. Their jobs have been guaranteed so far. I say you let them go. Give the new people 401Ks when new employees are hired back. So they have some skin in the game.
It’s his party, he can cry if he wants to...
Now, is this really going to be a “layoff” (they don’t work, and DO NOT get paid) or furlough (they take time off, and eventually get back pay, making the furlough a paid vacation time)?
Ohhhhh noooo!!!! /sarc
Then they wont even have their public worker wages to recycle back into tax revenue. Local governments, dependent more on property taxes, and with schools still closed, should be O.K. - as long as enough people are not yet reneging on their property taxes due to unemployment.
Any federal aid to states and localities for their revenue shortages should be as interest bearing loans, not gifts, not grants.
What’s good for the goose can’t be bad for the gander. As any state’s unemployment rate rises as a result of shutdowns, proportionate layoff’s of government employees should be mandatory - elected officials and their appointees should fall on their swords first, and maybe a few state health officials for good measure. Trump should make the suggestion in a tweet or maybe a well timed executive order using his state of emergency powers.
Eff em. Lay em off. Texas taxes should not be used to keep on public workers in NJ.
This is what I passed along to my senator and rep
This will, more than anything, precipitate a swift ReOpening. These are all Rat voters.
This state was bankrupt BEFORE COVID. Stand tall, Mr. President!
The longer the states are shut down, the worse their financial situation will be.
States will go broke, because with the decline in state income tax withholding and decline in sales tax revenue, states will not be able to balance their budgets.
DIRE!
HISTORIC!
So, end the lockdown/house arrest...or STFU.
And no one would notice if they all were laid off
Seriously, anyone would care? anyone would notice?
