Dermont, Charley, Walker and a few others seems to think our current fiscal situation can be resolved simply by new taxes and restructuring the PF. It might in the very short term but after that pension liabilities, Medicaid and employee health insurance increases will have us talking about a lot more than cutting hockey, let alone entire sports department. Toss in government induced inflation and suddenly a restructured PF is a drop in the bucket. Contrary to what these guys are saying, they're really hoping oil goes back to 80/bbl and gas goes to 8/bbtu in a short span of less than ten years. All I can say is a magician can easily persuade the mind into believing anything.
