KD in CA Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 OMG!! Imagine actually cutting the single biggest government expense! How will CA function with only 350,000 people on the state payroll?!?! I love how 20,000 state "workers" is akin to Armageddon when private businesses are laying off millions. How dare taxpayers not want to pony up again to protect all those super demanding gov't jobs. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090217/ap_on_...lifornia_budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 CA laying off workers? Is that all? I saw the title of this thread, and figured it was something like Rosanne Barr in a thong bikini... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hamilton County, OH Sheriff, Simon Leis, was beyond maudlin on tv as he spoke of the departmental layoffs - 90% percent were officers and low-level clerical staff. He did go on to say how the higher-ups were vital, and key to managing the reductions. Still, there was that shock among the public roll. I've suffered three layoffs in the private sector - I can't imagine what is going through the minds of people who though they had a life-long sinecure (as was so for many years) and treated us hoi polloi with smarmy disdain through the years and years...

It is a boom and bust atmosphere out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was simply embarrassing. And yet here we are, California Democrats spending taxpayer money faster than they can collect it, and yet they wander around wondering why they have no money. Looks like the state of California should try this revolutionary new book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
