The plan is to CUT SPENDING.
Here is a different version of the same question:
You child wants a bigger allowance, and a lifetime commitment. Your income has been dwindling and your expenses increasing. What would you do?
A) Beg your mother for money to meet your child's demands? B) Borrow money that you cannot repay to meet your child's demands? C) Explain to your child that the answer is NO, at least for now.
Governor Pawlenty and Peter Bell have chosen option C.
Dennis Plante Responds:
So, people that ride the bus are children? I would suspect that you're fairly benevolent in your contributions to the young, whereas they're the ones that rent your apartments and work at the plants of the companies that you invest in in the stock market.
I know, I know. Let them eat cake.
There's such a thing as cutting off your nose to spite your face. Then there's not even recognizing that you have a nose. Pawlenty and Bell fall under the latter category.
