A lot of the problems, especially the housing and banking problems, began on the watch of, and were instigated by people like Barney Frank and Al Sharpton insisting on everyone's "right" to home ownership. The standards for qualifying for a mortgage were reduced to the point that you only needed a pulse and a pen to sign the documents. Once the changed requirements were proposed, any conservatives who spoke or voted against these policies were called "mean spirited" by the liberals.

This layoff is a good opportunity for government (and taxpayers) to find out that we probably do not need as many state employees as exist today. In the next few years as the government continues to function just fine and deliver the same services with fewer employees, it is doubtful that the taxpayers will even notice the difference. And, since government exists to serve the taxpayers, what is the problem?
