I think it is to be expected and necessary in a recession like the one we are having. When receipts are less than your outlays, you cut-plain and simple. Richmond sent us a $12.6 million budget cut and we have to deal with it. I am on the SG finance committee and have to contend with pork almost every session. As a Student Senator of fiscal responsibility (I would not say just fiscal conservative as the budget bipartisan), I am astounded at our $22,800 budget. That comes from the student fees and during a recession we should not be spending just for the hell of it b/c we have the money. PM me if you want the name of my uni. I am not giving this out randomly due to confidentiality.
Just my 2 cents from someone who knows the ins and outs of this issue.
