The only way to get to a balanced budget is simple arithmetic.  It will require:

1. Cut programs (including oil tax credits), which will result in way less public services
2. Use some of the PF earnings
3. Institute a broad based tax

Anyone who tells you differently doesn't understand the problem nor the arithmetic.  Gilliam's idea? Use all of your PFD and cut any and all public services.  Oh yes, DOT's M&O budget has already been cut 24% over the past two years, and there will be more this year.  Get used to less plowing and maintenance of all our state infrastructure.
