<<<<Krugman on the logistics of the austerity arguments.>>>>

Yesterday I was in at the local building department and the place was like a cavern. Big building with no people in it. One customer, but he was showing one of the officials color swatches for .....something. The change from before the housing crash was shocking. I know they cut staff - and suspect they could cut more yet as they have nothing to do. Ya, ya, I know we need teachers and such - but to think we could kept this department going with the same number of people is absurd. They had to cut! The most severe cuts from a republican turned state from your post was 5%. Is there really anyone who thinks that a 5% cut is not justified when we have people standing around doing nothing?

And how did we get the bloated building department of a few years ago?
