Will,

Your fine essay maintained my interest all the way through

and I enjoyed having my non-budget-oriented mind-hand

held as I walked.

My favorite line was:

We see it all the time at the state and national level,

and it makes me want to puke.

I am still laughing!

Why?

You are so clearly NOT a ranter

that your use of the word puke means

the provocation by state and national entities

had to have been truly egregious.

Thus you have illustrated

that used sparingly

a simple four letter word

can make a budget discussion lively :)

Cheers!
