re: #275 Dark_Falcon

Assuming that you are referring to Wisconsin, the idea is to correct structural problems in the budget. Lower personnel costs and attract increased investments from tax-paying businesses. The idea is that a slimmed down government with a larger tax base will not experience the current source of budget crisis in the foreseeable future.

Wisconsin, Texas, Ohio…you name it. So what was structurally wrong with TX budget? We have no state income tax, a republican Governor and legislature (for decades I might add) We are a right to work state with Big Oil. I believe Romney referred to that as 4 Aces.

Yet we still had a 25 billion dollar deficit. So…massive teacher layoff and health services cuts.
