Riverside County Budget ax

[CA renter]

Other govt agencies in SD County have been told to cut a certain percentage from every department.

This is not over. Not by a long shot. Just wait until govt employees take a pay cut across the board (which I think is inevitable). They’ve been taking cuts here and there, but I believe they are going to have a more sweeping cut.

Those who think govt workers are parasites are going to get the shock of their lives. These workers are the ones who can hold up the economy when the private sector is weak. They place a floor under the economy during downturns. Take them out of the picture/weaken unions, and there is no more floor.

We’re lucky that the FEDERAL government isn’t cutting back the way the local governments are. Military, defense contractors, Border Patrol, Drug Enforcement, FBI jobs, etc. are a SIGNIFICANT part of the SD economy and a lot of those people make fairly high salaries + a pension. That is a lot of what is keeping SD afloat economically. If the Federal government ever gets its budget under control, SD will be VERY hard hit.

how do people maintain confidence in the face of this. if the freaking govt, the supposedly safe place, is cutting deeply, how does this bode for the rest of it all? i would think this would send a signal to people that it is very risky to take on long term debt
