Reduction Deduction

Our old friend Steven Goldsmith rattles off a nice long article on the economy, but the meat of the matter is what he doesn't say about fixing state budgets.  See if you can figure out what he's dancing around as he lists these "five failed economic strategies":

1. More Federal aid
2. More state borrowing
3. More taxes
4. More delaying tough decisions
5. More stop-gap cuts

Now class, if you remove the ability to increase any revenue, and chide states for not making tough decisions and making cuts, what's left to do?

Why gosh, that would mean only thing left is the wholesale elimination of social programs, infrastructure projects and the jobs and services they provide, does it not?

Meet the 2010 GOP economic solution.
