PA Government Saves Money

Have you seen the news about the government in PA? The Democrats and Republicans there have come to an agreement that is reported to be saving taxpayers at least $3.5 million a day. This agreement has been going on for 2 days now, so that's at least $7 million in tax refunds that the citizens of PA should be looking forward to this year.

Under this new agreement, instigated by the Democrat governor Ed "I'm the King" Rendell, government has stopped all "noncritical" government services and "furloughed" 23 or 24 thousand people who were doing "noncritical" work for the state. There were just over 5 million tax returns filed in PA last year, so everyone should at least get a couple dollars back under this new agreement.

Unless, as usually happens, the government decides to offer back pay to all the "employees" who aren't working right now.

Do you know that if the state continues this agreement for the rest of the year that every single taxpayer in the state would save over $100? Sounds like a good deal, I hope they keep it up.

1 The vast majority of government employees are expendable.

2 Since SO many are "non-critical," why do we have to hire them back?
