This is changing time in American history. One time dream to work with government to help nation and community is being crushed with irresponsible actions taken by state politicians. According to SEIU blog, the unemployment rate has touched 7.9 up 3 percent from last year.



The furlough effect on state employees has made families to look for alternate jobs for weekends and has changed their day to day priorities. The weekend prayers, kid痴 games and family get-together are being postponed to find small work at Home Depot / Wal-Mart and other graveyard jobs to cover lost pay.

The 10 percent pay cut has forced many families to look for budget cuts and save money for rainy days.

Thoughts
Why not make all California痴 to pay one day salary per month for next one year. This is better then asking only government employees to pay 2 days (1st & 3rd Friday furlough) salary cut for next 2 years.

Programs run by government are also utilized or used by people working in private industry. Government builds bridges, hospitals, airports, runs police, fire stations, senior care and county health care programs. The list is long,

Government should provide subsidies to private companies to start new business in California to generate the revenue. The companies should be given incentives to bring back jobs shipped to overseas companies.
