have you noticed the services that we use as private citizens are slowly being cut or eliminated? teachers are being laid off, public parks are closing, just to name a few. yet, i hear nothing about any city, state, or federal government maybe laying off some of their own. i don't believe we even need half  of those government employees. what is the matter with us as a people? most of us don't have a job, yet someone is being apointed to some rediculous position as we speak. let's all get a grip.
