I think these cuts are great, though they have the effect of destroying one of the last groups of viable consumers in the area. I wish they would cut more quickly here in NJ; Governor Christie is doing a good job, but we still have too many of these costly parasites sucking us dry. They have become our upper middle class here since the private sector decided to invest in Mumbai and Manila instead.
Attempting to give a damn...
Anyone remember the Planet/City of Trantor in Issac Asimov’s Foundation books? By the time the First Empire fell, they were pulling down the great gold buildings and selling the metal, and dragging the land beneath out into the sunshine for raising food. The mighty have fallen.
It’s DEMOville...what do they expect?
In the most liberal city in America, where Public-Sector Union bus drivers make more than 747 pilots, while getting six-figure retirements, can somebody explain to me why I should give a damn?

These are 2,566 “ghost” workers on the Detroit city payroll? Will they still vote Democrat? Of course. Even the dead vote Donkey in Detroit.
I am so thankful to be in Tennessee, where the dems actually want to waste our surplus this year. Thank God we hold the majority here. Democrats are some of the most narrow-minded of all the critters. All they want is more power over the purse strings. They don’t care whether the programs work or not.
