Hopefully they are permanant layoffs and not temporary.
All of our governments, federal, state and local, need to be smaller.
Of course, in the case of the feds, we have the best government the Chinese will loan us money for.
Pretty sure I won't be there,I don't get along well with idiots.
And, as the Government gets smaller, the actual people that ARE "the Government" here get laid off, have no more pay checks, and can buy less things in local businesses.
So, local businesses have less patronage. Less sales. Less income. Pay less taxes.
Yeah. All great, and getting better.

Don't worry, us taxpayers will keep paying all the laid off workers for 101 more weeks.
"the actual people that ARE "the Government" here get laid off, have no more pay checks"
Oh those poor people. They would have to go out and find real jobs in the private sector. The horror of that makes me sob and cry.
"Oh those poor people. They would have to go out and find real jobs in the private sector."
Right. And we all know how easy it is to find a job these days.
How many people have to move away to find a way to support their families, before these "conservatives" figure out they're cutting off their noses to spite their faces?
We should all have high pay, low work jobs that you have to be a serial killing pedophile to get fired from.
Get real, govenments need to contract just like businesses do in bad times. I've been thru it several times.
What you probably mean to say is these prima donnas couldn't make it in the real world.
"Get real, govenments need to contract just like businesses do in bad times."
Hunh? You mean the conservative rhetoric has loop-holes? Are you saying government is bloated and bad, and you support the drastic cutting of budgets and services to the public... EXCEPT when the government contracts out to selected private companies?
This sounds like what Glenn Cutler and the city of Port Angeles had set up.
to contract:
to become drawn together or reduced in compass; become smaller; shrink: The pupils of his eyes contracted in the light.
Until governments learn how to fund themselves responsibly without being tied directly to business cycles, they must behave accordingly.
As one politician once said: Hogs don't butcher themselves.
"Until governments learn how to fund themselves responsibly without being tied directly to business cycles, they must behave accordingly."
Again, hunh? You're looking for government to fund itself?
So, city employees are expected to go out and sell widgets to get the money needed to fill the potholes in our streets for all of us? Is this going to be like the Girls Scouts Brownie sales? Door to door, or are they going to set up tables in front of Safeway?
And, I guess you're also figuring that all the tax money government spends creating markets for US products in other countries is wrong, and should be cut immediately. Have you been following the F-35 dealings, lately?
