Blind Spot - Granite Grok

Blind Spot

The saving of New Hampshire Taxpayer dollars has already begun.  Peter Bragdon announced that his State Senate chief of staff will not be earning the $100,000.00 his predecessor is said to have received.

We don’t know how much less the new chief of staff will be making but it will be less.

Should we now expect caterwauling from liberal New Hampshire democrats?  Is this one of those hard choices, the difficult cuts the democrats agonized over as they strove to keep costs down and help New Hampshire grow? 

Are residents going to suffer from a loss of services as a result of cutting this salary?

Feel free to snicker amongst yourselves at the fiscal depravity of what Kathy Sullivan calls the true fiscal conservative party in New Hampshire.  (she means democrats.) 

True fiscal conservatives eh?  Too busy spending to cut the excessive salary of democrats, even as a symbolic gesture?  How much you want to bet there are a few more salary cuts in the bureaucracy just like this worth looking at?

Liberals would never find it.  They have a blind spot when it comes to saving your money.  They just know how to spend it.

Ok, yes, there will be some hard cuts to be made.  There will be people who are unhappy with these hard choices.  But I think we can see, from this one simple act, that the liberal democrats are neither serious, nor perhaps even capable of making cuts in places where it will not affect services at all, before picking up the rhetoric as an excuse not to cut anything else.  Otherwise it would have occurred to the so-called "real fiscal conservatives" to do so.

 Oh.  Wait a moment.  The real fiscal conservatives did.  Here’s to them finding more.
