Wake up everyone. Its time to start cutting back on government payrolls and programs. We always hear from city and state workers it costs alot to raise a family in a State like New Jersey, which is very true. But what they don't seem to understand is that the reason it costs so much is that taxes have to be high in order to pay for these people's salaries and government programs. Unlike the federal government, which can print money, the cities and states actually have to balance their budgets. Unfortuantely (I say fortuanetly) the one time quick fixes and voodoo accounting have run their course and its time to pay the piper. I can't afford any more taxes I'm simply tapped out. Now is the time to get rid of these workers and these programs.
