**Instead, you could eliminate virtually all state money for healthcare and social services — grants for the aged, blind and disabled, assistance for the homebound, medical care for the poor, mental health treatment, welfare. . . . No exceptions.
Of course, you’d then be turning away tons of money from Washington, which shares the costs. And you would be violating some federal laws. But there, it’s done. You’ve avoided a tax increase. What a state!**
Sounds like an excellent idea, cut out the social spending and the spending to the public schools and the state can spend more on roads, public safety, state colleges, etc. Everything that states did well for 150 years until liberals decided that social spending was the primary function of government.
Just think of what the Federal Taxpayer saves as well if we eliminate the stupid social programs.

None of those should ever have been started!
