Spending Cuts

For the umpteenth time, whenever spending must be cut (as in the case of New Jersey), liberals scream that this will mean fewer policeman and firefighters. Of course, it *could* mean that, but only if you didn't have massive entitlements, bloated public sector union jobs, and wasteful spending across the board. When you have all of the latter that liberals will refuse to cut, of course it could mean more essential things could be cut. Naturally, Republicans will take the blame for being heartless (though thankfully Christie has stuck to his guns to restore some sense of fiscal sanity), when it is really Democrats who should be blamed for years of incompetent management of the state.
