As Mr. Del Mastro pointed out, we should all strive to do that. When an agent of government strives to do that, don't you think you're being penalized for being mean and lean and efficient, if you are asked to take a 5% cut when there are other departments out there that are not striving to be lean and efficient get a 5% cut as well? Maybe they should have an 8% or a 9% cut.
I just find the whole aspect of doing a 5% cut across all government as a way to try to balance things to be not very productive.
