Wasn't the budget passed despite JBE? I remember JBE bitching about a ton of cuts that were made but specifically spending cuts to Medicare or Medicaid because we would lose out on the federal Match.
not really. The legislature is as awful as the governor. They pretty much refused to cut anything. I set in almost every Rev and Risc and Ways and Means hearing. Up would come a great plan to cut some bs tax exemption, or frivolous spending program, and it would get deferred.

They seem to think there's all this obvious and easy low-hanging fruit to cut. Everyone seems convinced of this at the national level too. But there are never real cuts or savings when it's time to budget. Either all this supposed fraud and waste is imaginary, or it's real and they're all too stupid to pinpoint it in any specific way.
