Did not mean to start a verbal barrage. With the feds putting up 500 million and staving off across the board cuts or a special session it struck me as timely. We only have so much money, we are borrowing at the federal level against our children's future, then providing the same services ( or greater ) at the same cost seems to me to be desirable.

I appose any cuts to DSHS as so many people are hurting we need to be able to do more not less. I sat through dinner after dinner as my ex ( who was a consultant for DSHS ) just came unglued about the waste. I particularly loved the sex change operations for over 250k and up to 400k that was not well know by the public.

We need to use our taxes to help those in need 1st, but also efficiently so other programs can be maintained. It does seem to me to be a bit of no brainer.
