Good point BobS.
I’ve always been irritated by the fact that when businesses face financial trouble they have to deal with them or cease to exist, (unless of course helicopter Ben is hovering above them) but, oh, not the government.
Businesses cut costs and lay people off, reduce benefits, cut salaries, reduce overhead, dial for dollars, call in a consultant and shift things around.
But the Government (state and Federal) raise taxes, reduce education funding, close state parks and so on, negatively impacting those they are supposed to serve. Those who are only indirectly responsible for the problems because they allow these career politicians to continue to be in office.
There’s something very backwards about our this “democracy.”
