Who rarely suffers from a down economy?

Not surprisingly, cialis see it’s the places that can just take everyone else’s money:

Government towns tend to be relatively stable because — even though budgets are slashed — the public sector still must pay the salaries of politicians, buy cialis building inspectors, police officers, military personnel, and tax-authority employees. Cities that we think might benefit from government employment include Chesapeake, Va., near the massive Norfolk Naval base, and the state capitals of Baton Rouge, La.; Lincoln, Neb.; and Madison, Wis.

College Cushion

Madison has a second recession buffer: the University of Wisconsin. More than 17% of the working-age population works in education, according to PolicyMap. Colleges don’t necessarily flourish in bad times, but they don’t go out of business either.

This just reinforces the post I made the other day about why academics tend to love big government. Why wouldn’t they? Unlike the folks in the private sector, they rarely suffer when government screws up.
