Yes and no.....
Laying people off is one part of the forward looking problem here.... The only OK thing about this is that it should be temporary. All of those jobs should be refilled (hopefully by the same people).
It is the hypocrisy that bothers me more than anything. And frankly it is also teaching a lesson to those students, many of which are being groomed to be leaders of other people, that it is ok to cover your a$$ first in times of trouble and NOT be helpful to people in need.
I am definitely a conservative and I am pro business etc..... I am against quotas, against unions, against handouts for people who are unwilling to try to help themselves, and against carrying under performers when they can be replaced with a better performer.
However, I am not an Asshat either. At a time like this, i do actually feel that if you (and/or the business) has the means to do the right thing, then you should do it.... I don't have to, but I am still paying for daycare because she needs the money, I could and usually cook at home, but right now I get take out a lot more often because the restaurants needs the business.
Not all republicans are greedy fuks, in fact most are not.
Hav-ahd has the money to pay these people and they should....
