    It's sad when we've come to the point where it takes a hurricane to actually cut government. Not slow the growth of government, but actually cut the government's size.
    Watch this closely over the next few months. All 3,000 of these workers were deemed "non-essential." That means there were no police officers or firefighters let go. If they're so non-essential, then what are they doing on the government payroll anyway? Let's just see if the City of New Orleans dries up and blows away because it has 3,000 fewer bureaucrats pushing pencils down at city hall.
    If a city can cut its work force in half and not affect any essential personnel, that tells you something about the efficiency of government.
    Bottom line --- not one penny of taxpayer's money should ever be spent at any level of government for a worker deemed to be "non-essential."
