1. Do what the rest of the State and Country are doing - LAYOFFS - you can't tell me there isn't any redundancy in our state, so start with a 5% layoff.
2. Do what a lot of companies are doing - REDUCE salaries of those employees left by 10%.
3. Get the GREAT PARK going. There are hundred's if not thousands of jobs waiting to be created on that on project alone.
4. REDUCE the state income tax. You Raise taxes we REDUCE our spending, you REDUCE taxes we INCREASE our spending, see how that works? Here is an easy example to follow:
- You can have 10 sales of $100@ = $1000 taxed at 8.25% = $82.50
- OR
- You can have 20 sales of $100@ = $2000 taxed at 5.25% = $105.00
5. I don't care what side of the Immigration debate you are on, we all know it happens, we also know we give thousands/millions of dollars in aid to Mexico. Soo, while we can't stop immigration we can BILL MEXICO for the costs incurred. That is right, every time an uninsured ILLEGAL Immigrant gets medical attention - BILL MEXICO, every time an Illegal Immigrant gets aid from CA send the BILL to MEXICO - now you say, they just won't pay it, DEDUCT THE COSTS FROM THE AID WE SEND THEM!!
6. For first time offenders, petty offenses, don't let them off, give them House Arrest. Let them pay for their own food and boarding, and charge them for the service. Get them off the streets without putting a strain on our budget. We should clear out all the minimum security prisions with these kinds of misdemeanors and non-violent criminals.
7. Disability is for those disabled, not acoholics or druggies. That is right people that can be classified as disability and they get benefits??? I am sorry, but the is just unacceptable, you can't legislate stupidity and you shouldn't reward it either. Sound Harsh too bad, we can't afford to take care of those who CHOOSE yes CHOOSE not to help themselves, ask all the AA members YOU can STOP!
8. Invest in renewable resouces now. There is a huge desert out there just waiting for solar panels and windmills to harness all that energy. Goverment is the biggest employer, lets actually do something useful for once while land is cheap and so is labor.
These are just a few items off the top of my head I am sure I can think of more and I am sure so can others.
