“the crushing budget deficit facing the next person”
The blame can only be placed on those that control the state House and Senate.
The truth of the matter is that Tim Pawlenty has faced a crushing budget deficit more than once.
What this state needs is another Tim Pawlenty!!!
God bless the true believers, K-Rod. A self-induced financial crisis is not necessarily a call for the status quo, however. In my humble opinion, anyway.
But when something works, ie Pawlenty getting us through another budget deficit, usually you stick with it. Don’t throw away that recipe for success just because it doesn’t fit your ideology.
Yet, we still can see things that are not successful… state house and senate… expanding bearcrapcrisy…
Many families have had to reduce their budgets.
When will we see government reduce the its spending?
When will government be accountable to do more with less?
