Its not the total solution, but its a start. As I've said, and reiterated many times, the private sector cannot be expected to bare the burden alone in regards to wage decreases and job losses.
I didn't here the private sector rallying for big bonuses when times were good and the private sector was handing them out like candy.
The attraction to work in the public sector is the fact that it's steady employment and decent benefits but a lower wage (I am a trades worker and know people in both environments).

Cutting wages in the public sector is a horrible idea.
