As I write this, there are already 68 comments, the majority of which are simple complaining about the PFD reduction to bring the ends of the budget closer together. Not 1 comment suggests any budgetary fix, not even a suggestion to help in the path forward. 

I propose the IGM (I Got Mine) philosophy. Lets push to go back to the full PFD amount so we can all have our fair share, then simply stop all spending when the budget runs out. Hey just because the state is broke who cares, IGM!!! 

Sounds foolish doesn't it. Selfish, self serving, short sighted... 

Let's have some useful dialogue. Any other ideas?
