  • 1.2 Billion increase in spending = is "structural debt" that is unavoidable and cannot be cut even if we wanted it to be. (Medicaid, pension, service on current debt) It's a common tactic of politicians to start "nickel and diming" and to talk as if this spending is "discretionary" when in fact it is not.

  • We are in too deep to bail out this state without new

    revenues. The Republican mantra of "no new taxes"

    betrays either a naivete of lack of guts to do what every

    thinking person knows from their personal finances: it takes

    income to get you out of debt. Borrowing is insane as are

    some of the spending cuts to education. I am sure there is

    a lot of needless spending in Springfield but I do not see

    anyone, yourself included, with any real answers
