So, let me get this straight. The state faces its worst-ever budget crisis, and the latest liberal contribution is to bring up gay marriage.
Well, I suggest we go for it. If they want to mix social and financial issues, let’s give them what they want so long as taxpayers get what we want. They get gay marriage and the taxpayers get a 10 percent cut in state employees, their pay, benefits and pensions, including union employees. Now there’s a budget deal worth signing up for. After all, we wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings as the state goes bankrupt, would we?
