Along those lines, Karen, maybe the DPI could institute a government math question. To wit:
You’re the head of a state agency, and you’ve requested an increase in your agency’s budget from $986 bazillion to $1.5 gazillion. The governor’s budget recommendations would have your agency receive $1.49 gazillion. How many people in North Carolina will you say is hurt by this cut?
A. Current agency employees and their immediate families
B. The number of employees you might have hired with that extra hundred bazillion bucks
C. Think of the children!
D. These draconian cuts affect all of us, not just now but in the future
