The more the government cuts the more of a break the citizens get.

Cut it all!!! Let someone other than the minority decide how to spend the majorities money.

One for CUT SPENDING!!!

I think it's about time the government starting to take the kind of cuts the WORKING class has had to take. Maybe it's time for them to lose their health insurance, raises, bonuses and paid vacations. Maybe it's time for THEM to lose their homes and try to just simply SURVIVE on unemployment! I wonder how angry and and heartbroken they might feel when THEY have to tell their children they can't have a birthday party because we need food first. How many 5 more years do we have to wait?

Our legislators should start working part time -(like they don't already) and take a 50% cut in pay which is still probably too much pay for stupidity. Insurance policies should have large co-pays and limits, instead of full coverage for the rest of their lives. Cuts should start NOW - not in 3 years!

Granholm should step down. That would save a big chunk of money right away. No more vacations at the taxpayer’s expense for her and her family.
She has not cut her travels or cut her budget (if she even has one).
All Legislators should take a 15% pay cut. If they don't like it they can quit and get their noses out of the public trough.

Amen to that. What we really really need is to get rid of our full time legislature go to a part time legislature. Everybody talks about it but it never seems to go anywhere. With Michigan's economic situation the way it is we can no longer afford big Government as usual. Get rid of the porkaholics in all levels of Government.
