A modest proposal
This reminds me of the budget imbroglio of what? 1990? - when Bush the Elder refused to stamp a huge Democrat budget, causing a Government "shut-down" (if only). As a club, Donks chose to close the Smithsonian, Park Services, and other non-critical, but high profile stuff, so that Dan Rather could whine about them every night ("Thousands of disappointed school children visiting the Capitol over the Columbus day Holiday ....). It worked. Bush moved his lips and lost an election. Meanwhile ... The Maryland House of Delegates last week tentatively approved the largest tax increase in our history, to cover revenue shortfalls caused by their own overspending. Let's use some common sense, shall we? What happens if you or I go on a spending spree, and buy lots of stuff we can't pay for? That's right, Repo-Man! I want a Repo-man to repossess every single toy that former Governor Parris Glendening bought. Every new agency. Every new gummint employee. Every new entitlement. Repo, repo, repo! Makes too much sense, don't it? Hear that Bee? |
Comments: A modest proposal
All of these stories assume that the state workers actually do the work required of them. The truth is that when these workers get laid off their disappearance is undetectable.
