What a surprise the state of Washington is facing an $8 billion deficit. Now they are expecting us to bail them out. We’re not the federal government. It’s time our chosen officials spend within a budget like the rest of us.

The economy is having an effect on all of us, not just the state government, which still hasn’t learned that we are not a bottomless money pit. Do without like we do. Enough is enough already! People need to be responsible for themselves and so does Olympia.
