Here's an interesting article from Governing.  It illustrates why it can be a bad idea for governments to institute across-the-board budget cuts.  We also learn why cutting tax collectors actually costs more than it saves.

      What a crock. We lost revenue because auditors and collectors were SACKED? How about the fact that a liberal government is punishing capitalism and jobs are being lost, businesses are cutting back (or going out of business), workers are being let go, ergo profits are lower, ergo revenue is lower.
