The apathy of the masses seems to bolster the hubris of the government “servants for the public good”. For as long as the salaries and pensions are being doled out to highly paid “public servants”, they don’t care if the next guy is experiencing depression times. There should be a mass-initiated proposition that until a balanced budget is passed, your legislature and state servants should not get their salary. That would make them pass a budget in a New York minute.
