All these cuts in the safety forces, the downsizing that is going on...

must, in the near future, increase the cost of home owner insurance. Not just for fire but also for theft and property damages.

Especially in transitional neighborhoods.

The cost of calling 911 for a medical emergency will certainly cost more.

The cost of car repairs will rise because the streets, especially in north climes, will be less likely to be repaired.

Insurance in stores and other businesses will increase.

People wont see it right away, but I am willing to bet that the cost curves just shifted upward in states such as Ohio that cut into safety forces from state run agency down to the local cop shop.

2. Sadly this is what trickle down truly means

It is a systematic deconstruction of our social net.

3. Imagine that....

So, all those homeowners/landlords will be upset - I'm not - I've got little left to lose - apparently, it's a sure thing I'll need to make the ultimate sacrifice - Que cera, cera...Enjoy the ensuing out-of-control inflation of costs/deflation of dollar - and the anarchy. I'm thinking it's sort of a trickle-up thingee, now...hehehehe

What was that Patrick Henry battle cry again...

4. This is sadly true, I believe.

Outsourcing of such services could have similar effects.
