Cuts too deep? No, not deep enough
An excerpt:
Politicians have been
trying to outdo each other in deploying what the neoliberal Washington
Monthly founder Charles Peters coined in 1976 as the "firemen first"
principle -- the notion that "the public will support (the Clever
Bureaucrat's) valiant fight against the budget reduction only if
essential services are endangered. Thus, C.B. always picks on teachers,
policemen, firemen first."
