Yes............let's devastate the economy of another community and put hundred's of people there out work to solve the problem; another ridiculous idea.  The per diem we pay the legislators is is not even in the round off of this problem.  Our government knows how to spend money, but can't figure out how to cut money.  These mental giants got us into this problem by 35 years of ruinous spending.   Anyone who has ever looked at the history of oil prices knows that a day like this would eventually happen and you better be ready for it; we weren't.
