As is the usual case with government and education there is no serious consideration given to reducing the size of government and employees to cover shortfalls. The answer is to always seek additional revenues or rearrange the deck chairs to make it look like we are solving problems. If we are 9% upside down then reduce services and headcount by that amount. It is not taxpayer responsibility to provide employment for people in government and education. I cannot think of a single time I have heard of a government reduction in force to offset budget shortfalls. It is time to get serious and quit turning to overtaxed citizens whenever they need more revenue. Cut spending and the size of government. And that includes the bloated school system.
