While I respect kabuko68 immensely. I respectfully disagree with his position that we shouldn't cut state gov't


By Walkers proposed budget we're not all in this together



The article w4bear posted points that out quite clearly.

Walker should be representing the people, not just the state & state workers

And it's not like there's no examples of people having done so


When Hamilton took over the university of ak. He made the employees there accountable. It created an uproar & turnover


The one state agency we have to deal with the most is a good example of such. They are slow, inefficient, sometimes rude & condescending.

I'm a bit of a hothead I realize, my wife is the opposite. Yesterday she had to hang up on the state worker she was speaking to.

I'm not adverse to paying our state workers a decent wage & benefit package, but just like any other employee you expect some bang for your buck if you're going to do so.

If we're not going to cut expenses of the state now, are we ever going to?

Or must that beast be fed & continue to grow no matter the reality of current economic conditions?

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
