[quote=Anonymous]These comments are mostly unserious. However, some have correctly pointed out--this is going to effect the whole region, not just DC. So similar revenue downturns in MD and VA for example. Clearly there will have to be strategic spending cuts--but where those cuts will be is up for debate. And as others have mentioned it will likely get worse once the federal gov't makes its own additional spending cuts to finance the huge tax cut that Trump and his cult want. My main suggestion would be to make cuts in areas that "incentivize" people getting a job rather than relying on public benefits. Means testing, anyone?[/quote]
