Choosing to balance the budget by using the CBR is not inaction.  The State of Alaska does not need to institute income taxes or "restructure" the permanent fund.  State government is too intrusive, too expensive, and too inefficient.  Reduce the size and cost of State government.  A sudden contraction of the economy by confiscating all or part of the pfd checks Alaskans depend on and businesses depend on for an economic infusion will harm the economy.
