Honesty, real life, responsibility, foresight, sacrifice, stewardship to 
name a few.  The truth is ...  the chickens have come home to roost!

Cutting spending does not imply raising taxes.  Your hyperbole is 
failing.  A cut of about 12.5% is necessary to balance state budgets - 
that is a fact - and getting a balanced budget is a "pretty damn good" plan.

By requiring government agencies to start the process of identifying 
those areas that can be cut and then absorbing and allocating those 
cuts.  Should be a shared responsibility.

Funny, I didn't see your plan - just your cheap shots and sarcasm.
