Complain, complain, complain, is that all people do? I understand people are allowed to have opinions and state them freely, but instead of making sarcastic comments about people, why not do something positive, like run for office or if you really are upset about the way the country and state are run, move to another country for awhile and see just how bad it is here. Life sucks for many people right now, we all can agree with that, but complaining does no good, action speaks louder than words. The situation isn't because of one person, it is a collaboration of many things and just like the economy does, it will cycle back. Be grateful that people get to keep jobs, even though there may be a reduction in pay. The only time a person is overpaid, is when someone else thinks it. I look forward to seeing some you in the next election. There should be quite of few that want to run for office.

Tanya, the Somalians are "protected" as they are "refugees." I'm still trying to figure out whose brilliant idea that one was. Anyone know??

Good thing Pawlenty might run for president of the U.S. mabey he can run this country into being a 3rd world country. When president or vice he can have us tax-payers pay for his health care for the rest of his life. just like all the other presidents do. But then to help fix the public health care system he can just make cuts. PAY FOR YOOUR OWN HEALTH INSURANCE YOU CAN AFFORD IT

Didn't anyone else catch that their raises got cut........oh too bad.....raises should be wiped out and save all that money......I agree that all non-essential services are handled as scheudled days where the services are closed, that way we all notice......and you know what if everyone knows....bet we could get by with less....and make some of the savings permanent......I also agree all services to non-citizens should be cut to $0.......
