A couple of months ago, the Los Angeles City Council came up with a plan to deal with their

coronavirus financial crisis. They decided to give city employees up to $80,000 to retire.

If enough people took the money, the city could avoid pay cuts for tens of thousands of workers

still on the payroll. That was the plan. Well, two months later, the Los Angeles City Council is

taking another crack at the same problem because they can't seem to get their financial house in order.

This time, they want to give 1,200 city workers buyouts and start mandatory furloughs for over

15,000 more. The furloughed workers would have to take one unpaid day off every two weeks.

And here's the problem. Because of the shutdown, LA's tax revenues are weighed down. The cost of

doing business is way up. But despite the financial crisis, some city union workers are

blocking it unpaid furloughs. They don't buy the idea that they are the ones that ought to take it

in the shorts. They want their money on time. No questions asked. Now, before anybody pulls out

their hankies to wipe over the plight of the LA City workers to weep over it, remember this.

Millions of Americans have lost jobs and businesses with no buyouts and no furloughs,

while the Democrats who insisted on these shutdowns didn't give a damn. Maybe you should wipe something.
