#1 ...only save about 18 million dollars a year

But its nothing for pols and bureaucrats to daily nickel and dime every citizen on basics and their existence so that their empires of power and influence are not diminished by one government employee. At their going rate, California will have the largest civil 'servant' population that reports to work one day a week. I suspect that they're going to find truth in Fredrick the Greats admonition - he who defends everything, defends nothing.
