If it does pass, and for some unbelievbable reason the state doesn't ingore it, do you seriously think that the political hogs would ever alter their own spending tactics?
Every normal, regular, logical and ETHICAL person, faced with a financial hardship/loss/decrease would take steps to adjust their own spending habits. They'd cut back on their wasteful spending and try to conserve their cash for emergencies and essentials.
Try and get a politician to think that way would require a "rectal lobotomy". They would feel no remorse by cutting funding to essential services but would rally 'round the flag if they suddenly had to pay for their own vehicles, fuel, meals, "work" vacations, and in some cases their rent/mortgage.
The radio/tv ads for question #1 are nothing more than scare tactics, trying to basically get people to vote to give their money to the same fools that were wasting before.
Can you say (from "Animal House" pledge scene):
"Thank you sir, can I have another?"
I say we shake things up. We voted on a tax rollback some years ago, and they illegally ignored that, so we're going for the whole ball of wax.
They wouldn't allow us to keep ONLY 0.5% more of our money, so now we're going after ALL 5:65%.
If it passes and they ignore it, whoever votes to override it should be driven out of office once and for all.
