With regard to points one and two. I read the report you referenced from John Dickerson. Thanks for the link.I can’t help but agree with his analysis and Gina’s.
It s hard for some, including me, to take politics out of how we view a “crisis” and it causes. But there should be no question we are in a crisis now. Gina was a hero for part 1 ,the State. However the cities and towns will need even more heroes that are interested in the economic well being of all this States’ citizens if we are to get past this unfolding debacle. I know this is heresy for a conservative to ponder but i believe some or most of these local taxpayers should pony up and share in the pain because these problems were for the most part the fault of the people elected. There should be accountability for the massive dislocation these policies and inaction have caused. Since the voters decided who to vote in. They should help clean up the mess by voting out responsible parties and paying some of the costs.As long as we close the defined benefit trough so it doesn’t happen again , I think even conservative small government people would accept this hit.
