That being said, as you know there is currently a vigorous war on gubmit spending. America appears to be nearly unanimous in calling for......indeed demanding, that gubmit agencies slash their budgets down to the bone marrow. Okay. Government agencies provide services other than police and fire (whose budgets are also being eviscerated, BTW). How 'bout those one-hour waits for service at licensing offices? Perhaps we will be happier when they are three hours. Building and electrical permits......get them in weeks or months ahead of time. Building delays will save us a LOT of money.

What a load of BS!
If a budget was supposed to go up by 10% and instead it only goes up by 5%, the unions scream theat their funds are getting slashed. Here's a clue for you, we know better. the general public is much smarter than that. Evidently the only ones who are actually gullible enough to actually but that crap like that are the union minions. The teacher's unions are pro's at playing that stupid game,
you'd think the teachers were smarter than that! (Or at least more honest).
If the gubmint budgets had not gotten completely out of control they wouldn't have to be adjusted and in most cases those budgets are still growing, just by not as much as the unions want.
BTW the reason the gubmints are having to watch the dollars? UNION PENSION PROGRAMS are bankrupting them.
Maybe if those departments you speak of were a little more EFFICIENT they might be able to do their jobs without demanding budgets of $millions upon millions to carry out simple tasks.
Privatize it all and we'll start seeing competent people actually DO WORK!
Or just get rid of unions for all public employees and we'll start to see the light at the end of a tunnel and this time it won't be a train heading towards us!
