And this kind of thinking does nothing but hasten a collapse. It may
sound like
a good idea to fund "future education spending," but it's not

Well in the Arnold case, he is moving money that the public voted to spend
SPECIFICALLY on education ...... and using it for nearly anything else,
because everyone on both sides say cuts can't get deeper and the Republican
side simply chants "no new taxes" to any idea that income must be increased.

To use your homey, family situation, analogies for government it's time for
dad to admit that we can't cut more and even though it hurts get a second
job to increase income and not just chant " I don't believe in that"

themselves for is what that money should be used for .... )
