For several months, only one policy will be necessary.

Cut state payrolls. A very sharp fillet knife carefully used to seperate the gobs of superfulous fat is all that is required for the first year.

Cut state payrolls

Dear Bert. By February the structural deficit in California may be approaching $20B.

Even if Schwarzenegger were thr only state employee, payroll cuts woun't solve California's problem.

The first thing that I'd like to see cut is Prop 98 which takes care of Prop 49. The quicker that the state gives K -12 schools and property taxes back to the counties the better off taxpayers will be.

At this time Los Angeles County is sucking the lifeblood out of the California budget. Los Angeles county needs to be cut adrift to rot in it's own foul juices.
