We can't afford jury trials but yet we can pump billions of dollars into the welfare system to feed, clothe, educate, and medicate illegal aliens. Do you see something wrong with the system?

FYI. (people that warrant a refund on their state taxes are having to wait, no money to refund.)

IIRC, some school districts in Alabama recently dropped football from their athletics programs. That would be like Indiana schools dropping basketball, Texas schools dropping football, or North Carolina out-lawing NASCAR. That's what will communicate to most Joe-Six-Packs that Alabama is REALLY in deep financial trouble!

This is a tactic that the bureaucrats in government always use when they want to get a tax hike. In Massachusetts, they usually cut the police or fire departments. Of course, the millions of people collecting welfare checks and food stamps are never affected. Instead, those out-of-work layabouts are usually bused to the State House to protest all these cuts in "vital" government services.

Perhaps the answer resides in
reducing the number of permissable civil lawsuits and reducing the number of ridiculous criminal laws on the books...
