On a local level cut emergency services, police and fire....anybody familiar with "overtime" and pay scale knows police and fire is an effing rackett, alot of people sitting on their ass working 3 days on, 4 days off at incredible pay rates
So what do you want more goverment or less.

I want smarter government, less in many places, but I want regulation in other places. The last couple years the Economic crisis and Environmental (oil rig, spill) crisis states Big Business refuses to do the right thing and follow the rules in place. Unfortunately lot of why this occurs is ethics, this country is so damn fat it continues to stuff its face and wont push away from the table. Blah blah blah...
Anyways a little article today from my neighborhood and the local government which references a little rant of mine above:
