It Took This Long? No Excuse

Looks like the clowns in Sacramento have finally run out of political games to play.  It’s not a done deal yet, but the obvious has been stated: if we are to maintain services, we actually have to a way to pay for them.  Maintaining the various services equals maintaining jobs, which equals a better economy.  Some cuts and frugality in budgets, coupled with, gasp!, new taxes is what we have to do.  It might not be the most fun thing you’ve heard today, or tomorrow, but it is what has to be done.  The most amazing, and dissappointing aspect of this entire episode is that it took our elected officials this long to figure out the obvious.  It’s a good thing, for them, that they weren’t attempting to bypass a skunk.  They’d have been sprayed right after the phony budget was adopted last summer.
