I did cut the financing to the finance dept, because they did a poor ,poor job on their forecast for the price of oil. <br /><br />I would have liked to cut the bureaucracy, , but there was no option for that, but I did cut all but three areas, and raised the income tax to 11%. ended up with a small surplus.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21515728.post-36116030151090844722013-01-31T10:55:52.434-06:002013-01-31T10:55:52.434-06:00today on the radio the claim was that Redford clar...today on the radio the claim was that Redford clarified her remarks to say no sales tax and no return to healthcare premiumsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21515728.post-84486758156712117292013-01-31T09:06:21.675-06:002013-01-31T09:06:21.675-06:00I was surprised (well not really) at some of the c...I was surprised (well not really) at some of the crap they spend our money on. Grants for this, grants for that; programs I've never heard of. I just cut it all. When you're in debt just stop spending on the wants and focus on the needs. Let's face it, Redford is not very smart. She'll be in office for a few years yet (God help us all) so now is the time to put the axe to the tree, slash and burn and piss off everyone you lied to to get in office. Do the tough stuff now because in 4 years nobody will remember anyway. Having said all that, we're getting a sales tax. Because being the true liberal Redford is she can't help herself.newcenturionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058670683654112613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21515728.post-36772043414287891102013-01-31T07:00:54.953-06:002013-01-31T07:00:54.953-06:00from 2.6 billion deficit to 2.4 billion surplus, n...from 2.6 billion deficit to 2.4 billion surplus, not likely. any additional money would be flushed as fast as the current revenue stream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21515728.post-47956361297553726042013-01-30T20:41:59.790-06:002013-01-30T20:41:59.790-06:00Institute a 5% sales tax and VOILA, all the proble...Institute a 5% sales tax and VOILA, all the problems are solved.
