AZ Star and Friends call for creative solutions. Ok, What are they?

I have noticed in our local screed and other places that they are calling on the Republican majority in the Arizona Legislature to come up with “creative solutions”. They do not want anything to do with cutting taxes or shrinking government. They also don’t want to come out and say “tax everything”. So they lament about the legislature not listening to our ship-jumping previous governor and call for creative solutions(like putting up camera radars everywhere and fining our way back to financial health, thanks Janet). I almost forgot, the Ann Browns(AZ Star editor) of the world actually never come up with “creative solutions”. So I ask you, our growing audience, what do you suggest to help balance our budgets? Remember we must be creative!

Sadly gov’t is completely incapable of doing more with less. Heck, they work on the assumption that everything they do is absolutely essential and nothing can be changed or eliminated.

Before there’s a tax increase they need to eliminate vehicle purchases for awhile, especially SUVs and alt fuel vehicles, and not buy any office furniture or equipt. for a year or two. If someone needs some, the gov’t agencies should set up their own internal craigslist-type operation.

The Star cited a Beer Tax and a tax on non-diet sodas so my creative solution, since those are already taken and creativity means not copying other ideas, my creative solution is a 50 cent per copy newspaper tax.

Our President also cited a creative solution on how to lower business expenses: don’t have conferences in Las Vegas. Pretty good idea…unless you happen to own a business (such as a hotel or restaurant) in Las Vegas. I guess it’s part of the left’s “destroy America one city at a time” Plan.

The creative hippies downtown at City Hall have come up with yet another creative solution: take the money out of the self insurance fund that your financial advisors advise you to have in case of a lawsuit. After all, who would sue the city? It’s not like the Beacon of Hope (TM) Crane could ever fall over or another unbalanced minor could get injured while driving stolen construction equipment across the city…
