"A 13.5 percent reduction effective January 1st would cure the entire deficit in 18 months "

Y'know ... I wonder what a Governor should do if a business whose payroll and purchases spends 13 Billion in this State announced that they were just going to fire all their employees and shut down in the next two weeks ? What steps he would have to take to insure that CA's economy dosen't fall into a pit - How long it would take to dig out from a hit like that ?

Do you mean how would a 13.5% reduction effect the economy?
