Hammond's idea is still sound, when people no longer have skin in the game they lose interest. Walker doubled the budget in 4 years. We have run the budget up a ridiculous amount. From a reasonable expansion rate of 2.5% per year from Sister Sarah's kickstart of flagrant spending to the actual it is staggering how much the State wasted. Using that 2.5% growth rate and comparing it to Dunleavey's first budget proposal there was still $1.6 BILLION in room! We need to cut way back on the spending. We have no income problem, we do have a huge spending problem.
