[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2969805, member: 9374"] Well, judging by the casino parking lots I pass on a regular basis, that would definitely be one way to increase park attendance! QFT. Come on, Oklahoma... we have a $900M deficit. Not debt... deficit. According to the [URL='http://www.usdebtclock.org/state-debt-clocks/state-of-oklahoma-debt-clock.html']US Debt Clock webpage[/URL], Oklahoma has an almost $18B debt. So, if we don't tighten the belt somewhere (or everywhere), we're going to continue to follow the national trend. Is that what we want? There're only two choices - we cut back the programs and positions currently in force in OK, or we raise taxes to cover $900,000,000 this year alone. And you know every single department is looking for its annual budget increase (they hope), just as every employee wants their annual cost of living increase. How you gon' do all that? Oklahoma 2.5% unemployment (do we believe this is accurate?) 3,933,561 population 626,369 on food stamps (~16%) $178.6B GDP $17.9B debt We let Oklahoma go $18B in debt on our watch... how we gon' fix that, folks? <edit> BTW, the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts OK at 4.7% unemployment, ranked 28th in the nation.
