Heh.  Starting to balance our budget is the beginning of our fall?  Sounds good I hope we decline every year.


Talk to me again when you guys have started *raising taxes* - because that's the only way you'll be able to begin 'balancing your budget'.  So far all I see/hear about is more Voodoo Economics incantations.  Besides, balancing the budget won't help if your system continue being broken and riddled with clientelism.

Talk about Projecting!  This coming from a guy who is living in the most corrupt province of Canada.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
