The recession forces tough choices...

Have you heard about what's going on in Alabama? (check out this article) They aren't the only state who has tried to pass some tough and hard legislation and gotten huge press about it.

The recession and the crappy economy have forced families to cut back, employers to lay off employees, and states to look where every dollar is really going.

I think if it weren't for the recession, a lot of these things wouldn't be happening because no one wants to be accused of being politically incorrect. 

But no one is really recognizing the problems... and how much could be changed (and how many more jobs would be available) if we just enforced the laws we already have...
