#3 Ta'hell with this infomercial study, stating that the only way to close the budget is to raise taxes. Lower taxes, 10 payments of $5 beats 3 payments of $15.

#4 Want to balance the budget? Attract industry w/ with decent paying jobs. Too bad gov trade, tax, environmental and social policy is geared toward exporting those same industries and jobs to other countries.

#6 Our local D~~isaster~~emocrat in residence has taken money specifically collected to deal with recycling old tires and put it into the general fund, where it immediately disappeared. Just a few days ago there was an article in the local paper that discarded tires are "piling up", and there's no more room to store them. There are several ways to take care of discarded tires - retread the best, grind the rest up for pothole filling (works better than plain asphalt), even recycle the rubber through a rather complex process that's still cheaper than other solutions. Yet our state government isn't bright enough to deal with the problem, and has no money to do anything, because it was siphoned off to meet "general fund" requirements - a violation of state law. We really need to make an example of these spendthrift people.

#7 recycled rubber repaving is a great biz: removes the refuse, uses it for new paving, saves money. We encourage it in San Diego
