Here is a great answer for the Tax and Spend rats in the capitol and Herr Davis when they moan and moan that we can only increase taxes:

"There is absolutely no way you can grapple with a deficit of this magnitude without talking about some pretty serious tax hikes." Oh yeah? State Senator Tom McClintock, a Republican, says that 9.5 percent reduction in spending, kept in place for 18 months, would plug the deficit hole.

Of course the Tax and Spend rats can't consider any budget cuts, it might hurt the egos of some perverts on the dole.

I recall that Reagan instituted a 10% across-the-board cut on state agencies to help balance the budget. One has to assume that there is more fat in the state budget than back in 1967, so a 9.5% cut should be doable.
