 After Governor Brown's initial budget cuts California is still about 12 billion dollars in the hole. That's a lot, almost as much as the University of California Regents make a month, so I was trying to think of ways we could help out and close that gap a bit. Here's a short list:
- A Mark & Brian salary cut. Let's face it, like the University of California Regents, they are vastly overpaid. They hardly get their money put away before the next money truck shows up with another load. Let them work for free for a while, and funnel the millions to the state kitty. This goes for news gal Kat Maudru, too. Rich as hell, all of them.
- Take away the cars and motorcycles from the Highway Patrol. Make them hitch-hike where they need to go. It's OK, they all have guns.
- A statewide cursing jar. Twenty-five cents anytime you curse, even if it is only a soft little 'damn.' Afternoon traffic alone should put us close to our goal.
- Finally, all classic rock stations have to kick n a grand every time they play a song by Foghat.
That's my short, first draft of a list. Perhaps you could add to it? -Jobe
