re: Short quick fix for LA budget deficit

I'll see your "idea" and raise you a real idea: There are consultants costing the state millions of dollars a year to assist the government employees, all of whom are already receiving a salary. Either hire the consultants outright or hire better state employees. Also, kill all of the schools that no longer mean anything. I'm talking LSUA, LSUE, Northwestern, etc...these schools are sucking up funds and for what? No one goes to LSUA to graduate... Next, we listen to what Kennedy said the other day...he outlined several hundred million in spending cuts that can be realized almost immediately. The present government wants to do nothing but blame the past. Blame Jindal (when in all honesty, this fiasco was started with Blanco's blessing, but that's neither here not there)

TL;DR: Cut the fat from the government and the large number of mostly useless public universities.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FIRE EVERYONE AT THE DMV
