Here Are a Few Easy Ways to Close the State’s Budget Deficit
9th December 2012
According to a spokesman for the Department of Whoa, Didn’t See That Coming, the state is $1.1 billion in the hole, and there’s not enough gambling money to pay for the stadium. The problem, according to one of the state reps I heard on the news:
“The tax system is broken.”
That’s bad news. I guess. Perhaps he means “broken” in the “out of order” sense, where you put your money in the slot and get absolutely no state services in return, and then you get angry and find your state rep and jiggle him back and forth and maybe pound on his forehead to get the state services to fall down into the basket– you can just see that highway construction project stuck there in the screw-thing that pushes it out! Someone else is going to come along and put in some taxes and get two freeway interchanges for the price of one.
