Can you read? Every economist who has analyzed our budget situation has said that "WE CAN NOT CUT OUR WAY OUT OF THIS MESS!!" Whether you believe that more cuts are needed (and I do) or not, you must also realize that we must come up with new revenue NOW. Many of the people in the legislature have been in the legislature for years. They oversaw the bloating of the budget, the hiring of the enumerable state employees to do the work they supported, the fact that we only had a single source of revenue. Any third grader knows that you are a fool if you only have one source of revenue! Intelligent Alaskans have been asking the legislature to diversify the economy for years - it fell on deaf ears or the legislators in office are too stupid to figure out how to do it. Now, they are little princes and princesses who are overpaid, with flunkies (aides) following them around doing their bidding who are also overpaid, in lavish offices, and they don't even have to do their job. Disgusting.
