Budget crisis

We go through the same thing in California every year. It always takes a long time to pass a budget. We are in at least three weeks behind. It is scary to think that people will be going back to school, and there is no money. I heard on the news that kids will be spending not as much for there school supplies. This means that they will have to use their old school books, they will wear the same clothes, and they will have to use the same writing materials in this upcoming school year. However, California should not be the only won at fault, but The US as a whole. So now, we have two problems. I believe that we should not be hearing the same thing over and over from the politicians. Republicans don’t want to raze taxes, but the democrats do. Someone must give up. If we don’t raze taxes, what can we do to reduce the deficit? On the other hand, people cannot start cutting programs which are beneficial to the poor, the disabled, the sick, and the elderly. I believe that now it is time for the people who are in power, to think about others and not so much about themselves or people who have the same economic status as they do. We must realize that things are not for free, and that we must pay for what we need. If that means razing taxes, then we should do it. Again, unless the republicans have a better plan, I do not see another solution.
