What the Republicans have forgotten.....

"Meg or Carly or anyone else Who Would Run the Government Like a Business can lay off all the government employees they want, get rid of the IRS or the Department of Education, and slash entitlement programs, but the people who staff these organizations or depend on these programs will still be on the payroll somehow—be it through drawing unemployment, Medicaid and food stamps, or hanging around on the street asking strangers for food or change. There are plenty of sobering images from the Great Depression showing what a country that cuts all obligations to its citizens the way a corporation cuts all obligations to its employees looks like."

I quoted the above from HERE at Open Salon.
