 further compound your problem by CUTTING the amount of projected income
 coming in, there is no way, no how, in this universe or any other, that your
 budget can withstand the first problem that comes along. And a problem came
 along -- you can argue the problem was already on the scene at the time,
 which just makes what was done even more ridiculous. Ridiculous to the point
 of criminality imo. So now all the states are waking up... they're not only
 smelling the coffee they're getting 3rd degree burns as it flows over them
 because they can't afford paper towels to wipe it off.  Were it not for the
 fact that ppl are going to suffer because of their mistakes I'd find the
 whole thing hilarious.
 
 It's frustrating. Frustrating in the extreme.

MockYeti, I understand the problem, but there are few solutions, BardMock
