barnaby33ParticipantI’ve never understood the argument that a series of smaller ‘fornias would somehow be easier to govern. We have x revenue and y expenditures. Dividing those up unevenly would just create a massive power grab for the revenue and fight over who takes the expenditures.
Seems to me that you have two choices at this point, raise taxes or lower spending. They are not mutually exclusive. Anything else is just shuffling the deck chairs on the you know what.

ParticipantOh, Josh, come on… Raise taxes? Lower spending? Don’t go into politics, coz you’re not getting my vote, buddy. I only vote for politicians who lower my taxes (the lower the better) and also give me good schools, nice roads, and a good amount of pork.
What are you saying? Not possible anymore? End of the rope? Well, now you’re certainly not getting my vote. I want my pony and I want it now!
