When there’s no money, there is no money.

This scenario has been mentioned numerous times by other posters. When faced with budgetary constraints, they don't slash pensions, bennies, and bloated bureaucracies... they cut essential services to “teach” the insolent public a lesson.

This sounds like what the mafia does when you don’t pay them protection money.

And what other sacrosanct programs aren't being cut, such as greenways, clean energy, carbon offsets, commission on multiculturalism, commission on California quality of life, etc. etc?

In a sane world, the police and fire departments would be warning that the “officials” will have to be fired.

Just a wild guess - is San Jose a “sanctuary city”?

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Just do it already. And as the economy continues to crash and burn. Just remember, you looting parasites in government finally did it. You killed the host.

And like all parasites, they will do their most damage at the end of the Hosts existence.

But they can’t get rid of all those Personal Assistants to the Sub-Director of the Assistant Superintendent to the Secretary of the Deputy to the Commissioner of Dog Walking. They’re waaaaay too important.

Isn't it odd that city hall bureaucrats never get laid off?

Poor Chuck Reed. my old councilman and Dad of ‘Warthog Gal’ of Iraqi fame.

They never lay off any of the anonymous “city officials”. It’s always a threat to lay off Police and Fire personnel. I suppose that is so as to hold the taxpaying citizenry hostage to their demands.

Realization that the public coffers are dry has gone viral.

Translated: They’d rather fire young people and keep old people with lavish income and benefits than adjust the level of income and benefits so the city is safer with more people and young prospects are maintained in the system, providing jobs for them and a future for the institution.

Fire the young; Enrich the old!

Police don’t protect you. They show up after you have been robbed, raped, broken in to. More than half the time they don’t even make an arrest. If they do, half aren’t even charged or sentenced to jail. Not that that stops criminals.

This country got by just fine with out police for three hundred years. Worried about your safety? Get a gun and balls. Got a lot of stuff? Protect it. Or hire others to protect it. Can not afford it? Sell some some stuff, you got too much stuff. Or move. Or not. You are an adult. Why should others be taxed to protect your stuff?

Police are welfare security. They are to security what welfare housing projects are to real neighbors.

Personally, I wouldn’t mind a couple of years of lawlessness( of a type ). Let the scum, dolts, expose themselves so that they can be shotgun’d down and bleed in the streets, business, and homes.

Of course naturally this will result in starving lawyers, laid off judges, prison hack jailers and legions of time serving, clock punching, paper shufflers of the security welfare state. Good.

There was a chart linked here a while back that showed the top few hundred city employees making big six figures.

They say they need to do it.... let's see them do it. Put up or shut up. There's no money left. C-ya!

That money would be better spent putting a personal defense weapon in each home.

Why do they never lay off parks and recreation, water and sewer, garbage, librarians, custodians and clerks or other city workers? Always police and fire...................
