There is an enormous amount of waste in the number of government employees also. They need to cut those jobs back, just like the private sector has. Having worked for a Government type entity before, I have seen the horrendous amount of waste. It is as if they think the money will just keep rolling in or if it slows down, just raise taxes and all will be good for another year of wasted purchases, payroll, etc. If the government works like the University's do, then there is lots of money that can be saved.

But don't forget, the State Universities/Community College's all will cry how bad they have it. Been there, done that and seen it all. I have a huge folder of proof that I took to our local State Representative demanding an investigation. Of course, that didn't happen as he promised it would. So, the waste just keeps on keeping on.

I am all for this freeze and wish it went alot further and it damned sure needed to include Congress and their bloated paychecks/perks.
