Augusta Liberals Squeal at Budget Cuts

I've been watching with fascination the budget debates in Augusta over the last few weeks. The Gov seems to be remaining firm on his stance of no new taxes. Good for him! However, I do sometimes wonder if this isn't a "Good Cop/Bad Cop" act. As the Augusta Liberals salivate over huge new tax increases, the idea may be that we'll be so scared of them we'll eventually allow the Gov to slip in a few small ones. I'm not saying this is what's going on, but it's something we should all be on guard for.

Now, many welfare-supporting liberals are squealing as the budget Ax bears down on them and their programs. To them, these proposed budget cuts are making the unthinkable a possibility. Some of these unpleasant realities include the idea that people may have to earn a living. They may have to pay for their own health care. Scary thoughts.
