Cut - a three letter word that Harrisburg can't seem to understand

Just finished listening to Maurice McTigue talk at a Constitutional Foundations breakfast. He was a leader in the New Zealand government when it had to do what PA needs to do.  They cut and chopped at the budget, and stopped all the enticements and entitlements and then watched as the country made a huge turnaround.

Here in PA almost every day, I see a report that Harrisburg continues to try to find ways to add taxes and increase revenues for itself at our expense.   New revenue ultimately comes out of our pockets and our pockets are emptying out, our investments are shrinking.  We must hammer on Harrisburg the message that we expect cutbacks and ride the backs of all candidates heading into the General Election as well.

But, we not only need to quit offering entitlements and special incentives, but also stop drooling in front of the Federal Trough because it's full of garbage.  Just look at money spent on the I-80 tolling project.
