You gotta love that when the Politicians don't get their way , the first things they cry about cutting is the Police,Fire and Education...

You will be robbed, your house will burn down, and OMG, the poor children...

Never a mention of cutting government waste...Only the "fear" services...

All governments - big or small - only seem to have ever learned how to ADD... they can never balance a budget... They never cut ANYTHING out unless forced to do so... If they have a SURPLUS... they immediately vote to spend said surplus on some program or other... and that program has future costs which are never addressed.

It's like building roads.... they have an ongoing cost to maintain etc. THAT part is never in the original projections etc.


According to the Survey of Income and Program Participation conducted by the U.S. Census, well over 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one welfare program run by the federal government. Many are enrolled in more than one. That is about a third of the entire population of the country. Sadly, that figure does not even include Social Security or Medicare. Today the federal government runs almost 80 different “means-tested welfare programs”, and almost all of those programs have experienced substantial growth in recent years.

Exactly the same as when they are fully staffed.

Throwing money at our local public safety services may improve their presence but it certainly doesn't improve the level of public safety. What's a sad fact in Eugene is the number of over-weight lesbian officers that can across the board out perform some of the men.

If anyone really thinks their jobs are so dangerous and justify the lucrative pensions............with the average physical condition how do they manage to survive? They might make it a week in the mountains of Afghanistan but only if they encountered minimal resistance.

Grrrrr
