AGD, I feel like I could have written your list! I'm pretty much on the very same page as you.
My neighbor was complaining about her daughter's job as "teen website coordinator" at a local library being cut and I was just SO ANNOYED that she was complaining calling it a "travesty" because right now the budgets for the schools, police, and fire departments are being cut to bits and pieces.
I work in the public school system and we're on a county-wide pay freeze and hiring freeze... our special education teacher had to leave, and they just replaced her with a long-term sub so they wouldn't have to pay benefits to a new special education teacher. I'm sure similar things are happening in other essential parts of local government. And to complain about the position of "teen website coordinator" being cut? I was furious.
