You are unemployed because the still-employed cops and firefighters are so astonishingly greedy.
You are NOT unemployed because of “declining property values and property tax revenue, declining sales tax revenue, Wall Street greed, the Easter Bunny, etc.”
There would be money remaining in the public safety budget to hire you if the still-employed cops and firefighters would be willing to accept reasonable compensation and pensions, which are STILL VERY generous.
So, please direct your whining at the source of your problem, which is your astonishingly greedy “teammates,” and stop ordering the sucker taxpayers to give you more money. NO MORE MONEY FOR YOU!
P.S. The same logic applies to other departments (e.g. Public Works, etc.).
