You know Bobby, if you really wanted to provide aid to the states (which I heartily disapprove of), perhaps you shouldn't have blown $1 trillion on a healthcare reform bill that's gonna continue to grow in size and be a boat anchor around your Democratic colleagues' necks for at least 2 election cycles.
Consider:
1) Laying off teachers potentially weakens the unions. This is a good thing and will make reform that much easier
2) One could argue (and I will) that the cuts that state and local governments are now making are just forcing them to a point of equilibrium. I mean at some point you have to wonder how they got to this point. That is, nobody told them to spend EVERY GODDAMN dime they collected when times were good - RIGHT?
So now, when the inevitable charge card bill comes due from years of spending to finance every Liberal dream imaginable, including expanding the Public Union's share beyond the dreams of avarice, they come begging, hat-in-hand to the taxpayers for salvation.
I say fu*k 'em. Let 'em drown. What do I do when I run out of money? I stop spending! I might ultimately declare bankruptcy. I suggest that what's good for me is good for profligate state and local governments. Bankruptcy is especially appealing. It would afford Senior status to municipal debt, which would in most cases prevent pension funds and investors from taking too much of a hit, and abrogate Union contracts that are driving most of the fiscal problems in the first place.
Image a world where governments are forced to live within their means. Just the same as you and me - wouldn't that be something?
