The only way to balance the budget is to first cut spending, then increase
taxes, temporarily.

YMMV

Frank,

There is much more in this bill that you have described.  All public
employees were given a 10-12% pay cut.  There are many teachers and sheriffs
deputies who are going to lose their homes.

The governor is given the opportunity to give(sell) the state power plants
away to his contributors.  Currently we have power plants that provide heat
and cooling to state buildings.  The governor's campaign was financed by oil
industry tycoons who want these power plants.

The recession ended in July 2009.  We have a fragile recovery.  Economists
were predicting 250,000 new jobs for Wisconsin as we come out of the
recession.  That would be a source of tax revenue.  I predict that the huge
cut in spending associated with this bill will spiral through our economy
leading to more foreclosures and probably a new recession.
