What MD jobs would be lost? Government jobs that we already are over taxed for? If so, why would they be so bad for the regular working person? We need a governor who needs to be more business friendly so more businesses want to come here, rather than leave here.

this tax and spend liberal administration should have prepared for this. all the info has been out there for months; actually years now.

as usual; these liberals have no sense of budgeting; how to make the economy grow and common sense solutions.

it's all touchy feeley spend, spend, spend and tax, tax, and tax. pet projects and payoff cronies. just no sense of priorities and no vision.

when can we get this group out???

Cutting one half of all government jobs (+/- $150k)Fed, state, & local would stop the debt clock. It would also put a lot more "job creators" with incentive in the private sector!

Government jobs don't help the economy, they suck money out of the economy and squeeze out private employers

3:44, cutting hundreds of thousands of jobs doesn't do anything positive for the economy as a whole. The economy (I thought this would be obvious) relies on consumers spending money to keep it going. Explain to me how putting people out of work so they can't pay their mortgage, feed their children, buy products at local businesses, pay for health care or save for the future is a positive thing for the economy.
