Worker layoffs in NOLA... THIS is recovery...???

wtf...??? a ravaged city, dispossessed people, poverty, death, billions of dollars going to bush cronies for clean-up, and the new orleans mayor is laying off city workers because HE CAN'T MEET A PAYROLL...??? we should all be ashamed... un-friggin'-believable...

The mayor of this battered city said Tuesday that about half of its 6,000 public employees would be laid off because there was not enough money to meet the payroll.
