“The game is this: Whenever a politician is ‘threatened’ with a minor slowdown in spending, the first thing to do is to eliminate police, firefighters, ambulance services, school buses, etc. — everything that inflicts the maximum discomfort on the victims of the government monopoly (a.k.a., taxpayers). The booboisie then wake up from their American Idol stupor for a moment to raise a fuss. But it may not work for the Obammunists, for their biggest threat so far is to furlough ‘civilian defense employees.’ Unlike ambulance or school bus drivers, these bureaucrats provide no useful service to anyone. They will be the only ones complaining.”
