Quick, three choices before we lose the moolah...a) fix something important that needs fixin b) invest in infrastructure c) buy new countertops and stack them neatly

The whole government budget process is upside down. You are rewarded for spending money you don't have, and punished for not spending enough. There needs to be a fix - abolish 90% of the departments would be a good start.
