Sacred Cows

“All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”
– George Orwell, Animal Farm
 
Legislative leaders said everything would be on the table for budget cuts.
 
But a Democratic TAPster sent these “quick, back-of-the-envelope numbers” on how deeply the House budget cut agencies headed by Republicans:
 
Department of Labor cut 6.3%

Agriculture (another Republica) cut just 3.7%
 

And what happened to Democratic-led agencies?

Attorney General 8.7%
Governor 10.4%
Auditor 15%
Secretary of State 16.7%
Lieutenant Governor 40.5%!
