re: #181 Dark_Falcon

How did that happen? The news kept saying Texas doesn’t have a major budget problem.

Because the idea that we don’t have a budget problem is bullshit. We’ve got a “balanced budget amendment” in place that Perry and the other imbeciles running this state point to as proof that we’re okay.

We’re not. Perry’s facing a $27 billion deficit, which means we’re going to make $27 billion in cuts somewhere to “balance things out”, since raising taxes and/or fees around here would get the GOP nutbars screaming about socialism and government overreach.
