Boehner is the sad little man who is the Republicans' "leader" in the House of Representatives in DC. Earlier, he remarked "I’m still trying to find the first American to talk to who’s in favor of the public option". This obvious hyperbole/lie promptly garnered responses from constituents, and even a poll indicating that Boehner indeed has many Americans in his own district who favor a public option.
Well, Tim Cahill sounded an awful lot like Boehner yesterday:
Cahill said he does not know of a single state employee who has been laid off.
To help out the Timster, I would ask a member of his campaign team to print out the following webpage: Regional and Area Offices Directory of the Office of Health and Human Services. Drive him to one of the addresses there listed, and ask around.
If Cahill wants to say that we haven't laid off sufficient state workers, well, I guess he's welcome to make that point. But to claim that none have been laid off, when it is so easy, convenient, and quick to disprove, is simply ridiculous. He isn't sounding pennywise on this one...he's just sounding foolish.

Perhaps he hasn't been to an RMV lately... how are those lines, Tim, since all the layoffs and closures? Maybe you should check one out, Tim, before you claim we haven't laid off enough state employees. Seems laying off state workers can effect state services. Who knew!?
