Cuts would be very heavy in health and human services, public education and higher education. The House budget would eliminate nearly 10,000 state positions, and Pitts held open the possibly of furloughs for remaining employees.

Have fun with any public spending down there, y'all!!

Well as one lawmaker in California put it: "All those people wishing for smaller government are going to get it."

Very likely. And remember according to the Tea party lot small is no longer the word but it's limited Government, limited taxes. Of course when it comes to their own (Tea party run) State Government, that'll be a different matter
