I did leave a point out about Idaho. Even though our revenues are way down, we have a constitutional requirement for a balanced budget. The legislature and governor are required to cut services if the money isn't there to spend. A budget with a deficit is unconstitutional in the state of Idaho. If California played by the same rules, they would admit that there is only $60 billion available to spend and cut services accordingly. There would be no "deficit". There would be quite a howl from the lefties.
