Its nice that he's a nice guy, but at this point he's incompetent and his whole fall back to, if we cut the budget we'll gut the civil service is cheap politics all the way to defend the un-defendable.

No we don't have to slice off all of the front line workers and the teachers and bunny rabbits and others. But there does have to be a reduction in services. If your borrowing money to turn the lights on in the morning you're doing it wrong.
