Well, the easy part is done. Our noble legislative bodies are taking out the easy pieces of out budget crisis. Taking money away from the poor and needy has throughout human been the easiest part of good governance. Now, having dealt with a haircut for the most needy and deserving,  when, we can ask, will we stop writing checks to oil companies and multinational conglomerates, and when will we place reasonable and fair taxes on incomes and special treatment interest groups like fisheries, mining, and coal extraction, which have done well on State largesse? We trust our Governor will hold to his position that everyone needs to feel a bit of pain to get the financial crisis solved. We won't solve this problem solely on the backs of the poor now will we?
