Budget
Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:07 pm
As things come to a head in Sacramento, again no budget, but even worse this year a massive deficit like none other before it, what is going to give? Inflation in energy and food sectors, hell lets be honest, accross the board, and looming tax increases from the democrats in the capitol. How are we going to get through this unscathed? Not. We are going to get it right between the eyes!
When my budget at home is tight we cut back, not so in Sacramento, the democrats refuse any further cuts, they want their cake and they want a big fat scoop of ice cream to go with it. We have so many social and entitlement programs, past bond measures to pay interest on, looming infrastructure issues, housing foreclosures to deal with, shrinking tax revenues, and that doesn't begin to deal with unemployment, healthcare, etc......
I would like one liberal to explain just how we can deal with all of this and not cut social programs.
I say cut all social programs by half, cut all housing assistance by half, cut all state employees pay by 10% (our company did it why can't the state) require all state employees to pick up 25% of the medical premiums. Force the schools to cut admistration costs (not teachers) by 30%. Put all prisoners to work in meanigful labor around the state, chain gangs were good enough in the 20's and 30's they're good enough now. Cut welfare payments by half. Close all state parks that do not generate enough revenue to pay for themselves, double tuition fees for out of state college students, cut salaries of all state executives by 20%, do away with housing compensation for all state university chancellors, proffesors and anyone else who receives them. Man this list could go on and on and on......
