We can not continue to spend more then we take in. Revenues, taxes, user fees, profits from investments, we must produce a revenue stream to meet our needs. That is simple, basic economics. We must collectively decide which of our difficult choices we must make, but we must make some. With the lack of action, each year our options lessen. We have less in savings. We have less in investments. We have lower credit ratings and higher oil tax credits. We must do something. We can not cut our way to a balanced budget.
