That's why I think that there is a mid-point in here though. I'm no naive enough to suggest that we should run a balanced budget at this point because desperate times call for desperate measures. But at the same time it's foolish to suggest that we can't find anywhere to cut to bring the operational budget to balance.
This isn't all or nothing. Wage freezes, reductions in some less than prioritized departments and other cost saving measures should be investigated. If that means that some unions are going to be upset, you spend some of the earned political capital and give it a shot.
