If three out of every four dollars goes to fund public employees compensation.

Well, I am missing the total budget number to figure it out.

I am not saying to cut them by 20%. I am saying if there is a hole that's where you look first. If the sacrifice isn't enough to close the hole then come back to me and we can share the rest.

i think that article said workers' pay or services, "one way or another" - moles Feb 24, 19:48 10
- I read it as people's pay to provide the services. I read it twice because I saw what you saw on the first read. -- nm - Bacon Feb 24, 19:49 9
  - well, the supposed 3.2 billion budget shortfall may not be that large in fact, for starters -- (link) - moles Feb 24, 19:56 8
    - That's a good article. Still bad, just maybe not as bad. I wonder what California's budget hole really is. - Bacon Feb 24, 20:00 7
      - 10000000000 gazillion dollars, but no worries, Jerry Brown is the man with a plan... - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 20:07 6
        
        Stephen, thanks for cheering me up. I don't feel so bad now, because it could be worse if I lived in California. Whew! Dodged that bullet by leavi -- nm - Bacon Feb 24, 20:10 5
        
        We're so seriously fucked here I honestly don't know how we fix it... -- nm - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 20:15 4
        
        I think the Feds have to bail you out. Wish money from China of course. - Bacon Feb 24, 20:17
        
        Sfek. And everyone, in one form or another, just wants to kick the can down the road. - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 20:16
