You cannot spend more then you take in. Period. The solution is not to raise taxes. The solution is to cut spending. Those of us who do not like it, we can leave. Seems like other states in the union can balance a budget. Sorry but the only way to learn how to live within our means is to actually STOP SPENDING WHAT WE DONT HAVE. [/quote]
This is an affliction that everyone has, homeowners to government. So homeowners lose their job and stop paying bills and/or stop shopping, whatever necessary to reign in expense – forced at times.
The government will have their hands forced also. I can see welfare cuts. If they have no money, they have no choice. They have to cut somewhere. If that is the biggest part of the pie, then that’s where they’ll try to reduce. It makes sense.
