Not just the Feds…

I meant to include all the + 100k teachers, professors, principals, cops, firemen, city administrators, overtime whores, department heads, and make-work cronies at all levels in that list.

After all, when the money is tight, why should we be debating how much less the CITIZENS get, when the FIRST sacrifice should be from our servants.

Only after they’ve contributed their “fair share” should we look for the next “saving”
