		<description>Okay, BIN.  We won&#039;t waste our time trying to figure out which corrupt politicians (or government agencies and associations) have you on their payroll. What I am interested in is whatever substance you have to refute the Policy Council&#039;s arguments and numbers on the budget.  Don&#039;t trot out that tired anti-semitic spin about the carpetbagger.  Try to have a grown-up debate about real policy issues without relying on your moronic skinhead jokes.  Real people who don&#039;t work at the Statehouse (in other words, people who pay the bills and actually contribute to our state&#039;s economy) are genuinely worried, and with good reason. And plenty of state government employees who DO actually work are losing their jobs because legislators sold them out and took care of themselves. 

So lay it on us, BIN.  Facts and figures, bro.  You can even get WMD to help you out (of course, he is a bigger idiot than you are.  But I suspect that&#039;s because he is an actual legsislative staffer as opposed to a consultant.  Those guys couldn&#039;t possibly get a real job. At least you manage to whore yourself out, which takes more work than those guys at the Statehouse are used to). Give us a substantive, smart case for why the conservative economic positions are wrong.</description>

		<description>T4 - the problem I have with the current situation is that there is no control over the state&#039;s budgeting process.  It goes up wildly and money that could be banked away for a rainy day is squandered in massive spending increases, followed by massive cuts when the roller coaster hits the bottom.

Such an irrational process does a major disservice to the people of the state.  The state should be able to 1) manage it&#039;s budget in a manner relatively consistent from one year to the next and 2) only make budget committments it can afford to keep.  Just as we&#039;re not well-served by squandering billions in surpluses, we&#039;re not well-served by drastic emergency cuts and doomsayers.

The Policy Council&#039;s long view of the budget is informative and points out that while the cuts hurt, the sky is not falling.  Once we defeat the doomsayers, maybe we can take a more rational look at how we make our state&#039;s budgeting process make sense over the long term.

Which is about as likely as snow in Charleston on Christmas Day.</description>

		<description>What you have failed to take into account time and time again, is the massive budget cut that took place before Sanford was governor...Fail.  But to hell with it.  

We&#039;re pissing in the wind, thinking that cutting budgets is going to lead to more money for the tax payers.  The only things we can prevent is a tax invrease, maybe.  But, we sure as hell aren&#039;t gonna get anything back, they&#039;ll simply appropriate that money for something else, that&#039;s already in a downward spiral.</description>
