How Would You Fix South Carolina's Budget?

Below is a link to THE STATE which, several weeks ago, put together an interactive site for people to try to find the $830 million in cuts/revenue it will require to balance South Carolina's budget this coming year.

It doesn't give the detail you might need to make all of your choices, but it is a good exercise to see just how big the problems are that we face this year.

When there's no money to spend, and no one is willing to tackle how the Statehouse has decimated the tax structure in the past two decades, then State programs will have to change dramatically or be eliminated all together.

If no one is willing to meet in the middle, I can only suggest that you hold on, it will be a long year.
