Bloomberg slashes teachers/unions, Democrats silent

[Mr. Perfect]

Sort of a pattern, eh?

Mayor Bloomberg is sticking to his threat to get rid of 6,000 city teachers by next fall. He unveiled a $65.7 billion budget this morning that cuts another $233 million from city spending, on top of the firehouse closings, social service cuts and teacher layoffs he has demanded for months.

The funny thing is we actually don't really have much of a controversy on this matter. The gruesome need for the govt has to be downsized through cuts eventually is accepted, openly or tacitly, happily or sadly, by both the left and the right. The real issue is the speed, degree, and nature of these cuts that are now causing such consternation.

[Mr. Perfect]

No, the issue is that when a Republican does it the left screams bloody murder, but when a Democrat does it they are as silent as a mouse peeing on cotton, betraying their deep moral and intellectual bankruptcy.

What many people do not yet realize is that the coming "austerity" will not even be noticable, which will then cause many people to wonder exactly how small can we get the gov't before we really notice a difference.

And that will be a great day. A day long yearned for by the great champions of liberty.

There's nothing more pathetic than someone whose arguments are self defeating and who doesn't even see it, even when they are told!
