If we as citizens have to give up then they should have also have to give up something, but as I said, that is not going to happen.
And this state needs to stop spending money on fucking artwork or pretty freeways. Basically they need to have the credit card shut off for quite a while.

Yeh, city, state, county, federal employees... I agree. Some states are cutting them back now. Not like the private sector obviously, but cutting back.
You said the state politicians should take a pay cut... I was just saying the state legislator typically doesn't make that much money. :-) They are actually in a kind of weird situation. They only work half of the year, so they need a flexible job or they need to be self-employed. Very strange actually... I don't know that the current system of paying a state legislator half of a salary can really bring out the best candidates. Who knows... something to consider doing better times I suppose.
