I’m so tired of constant budget cuts in public services and education, et al, every time the market hiccups. How should they be funded so as to have a guaranteed constant income?
Bsherman: Until you see your neighbor selling apples on the street corner, it’s a hiccup. This may be the biggest downturn since the Great Depression, but it’s no where near that bad (they didn’t have unemployment insurance then, remember, among other differences).
