Now comes the hard, painful cuts. You know, the ones dealing with public safety.
When the sheriff's department in Ashtabula County, Ohio, was cut from 112 to 49 deputies, just one vehicle was left to patrol the 720-square-mile county.Welcome to Galt's Gulch, kids. Coming soon to where you live! Hey, if our ancestors could live through the 19th century, so can we, right? Clearly the solution to this problem is more tax cuts so that the residents of Ashtabula County can have more money to buy weapons and ammo.
Asked what residents should do for protection, Common Pleas Judge Alfred Mackey replied, " Arm themselves," and added, "We're going to have to look after each other."
Area gun dealers and instructors told WKYC-TV, Cleveland, that they've noticed an uptick in sales and interest in self-defense classes.
One instructor, Tracy Williams, said the cuts mean "you don't have any other option" other than to listen to Mackey's advice.
On the other hand, these guys will have a leg up when the zombie hordes come.

And people wonder why I left Ohio . . .
In this recession I figure there are some small towns and counties that will end up degenerating into ungoverned and uninhabitable messes - with well armed people in them. Give it a few years, and even if the economy recovers, these areas will take decades to come back from their decline, if ever.
While services such as police, fire, paramedic should be a priority rather than borrowing money or raising taxes you should live within your means. Or do we want China to start subsidizing states now too?
