[QUOTE="Grendel, post: 2877153, member: 15821"] Our elected officials are the ones that build and approve the budgets. They are the ones who pass laws that incentivize certain industries and approve large infrastructure projects. They are the ones who set the tax rates and expenditures and give their buddies tax breaks and no bid contracts in exchange for kick backs and high paying jobs once they leave office. They are the ones who built our state's economy around a single finite revenue source that is particularly susceptible to foreign manipulation, instead of finding ways to build a diverse and robust economy that can withstand hard economic times. When the economy is booming and lots of money is rolling in, they are the first ones to trip all over each other trying to take credit for anything positive that happens. They sure as hell should take the blame when it all fails miserably. [/QUOTE]
