Yesterday the governor of my state, Idaho, stated emphatically that "we must live within our means". Butch Otter I think I love you.

I bet a whole bunch of conservatives would like to live here in Idaho right about now. We aint raisin no taxes or fees or fines just to keep our stupid politicians living the life of luxury while the people of the state starve to death.

Too bad more of our elected fools and idiots cant see it like old Butch. Actually he isn't that old.

Now for the big test. Lets see if Butch was just saying that or is his actions will mirror his words.

Kevin, who needs new taxes when you have the hidden tax of inflation.  More federal spending will give us more taxes automatically.

Kevin, hope it works for you.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been saying "if you don't have it then don't spend it".  Let's see if Idaho leads the way with common sense.

I hope he keeps his word. The governor of Maine is saying the same thing. Do not trust him much, so hoping he is being truthful this time. Only time will tell.

Idaho looks pretty good right now! If national politics isn't reformed soon, you might have a population surge.

McDonnell in VA has basically said the same thing.  He is for SELLING all of the state liquor stores and getting those state employees and their entitlements OFF the state retirement books and onto private businesses....YEAH Baby!  That's What I'm Talking About!!!

Only time will tell how if Butch keeps his word. He has been fairly good at it over the last few years.

I hope he is able to keep his word.  Once the tax base starts to decline, most politicians will immediately move to cut funding for emergency services, garbage collection, etc. until there is a public outcry over lack of services.  Then they can say they were merely responding to the public's request when they raise taxes.
