Give These People Air!


California is stuck with a mounting budget deficit. Revenues are down. Governor Schwarzenegger and legislators are wrangling over spending cuts. Deficits are likely to persist, and the state's economy shows no signs of a rebound. So, I figured I'd pitch in and offer my suggestions for strategies that Governor Schwarzenegger can utilize to get California back on track. Please note, having nearly no knowledge of how state legislation works I referred to the Governor's other body of work...his movies.
*UPDATE* Mark had a better suggestion for number 8. Does anyone else have any suggestions for the Governor? Send them in!
  1. Instead of slashing the budget he should freeze it with liquid nitrogen and shoot it.
  2. Instead of slashing the budget he should throw a pipe through it and tell it to let off some steam.
  3. He could put the budget on a missile and shoot it through a building into a helicopter full of other budgets.
  4. He should get irrationally angry at the budget and shake it like a baby that wont stop crying.
  5. He should dress up as Turbo Man, feed the budget to a reindeer, and then punch said reindeer in the face.
  6. He should use a chainsaw to cut the budget in two and remark that it "had to split.''
  7. In the middle of some epic lovemaking, Arnold's beautiful budget turns into a vicious snake. He strangles it and tosses it in a fire.
  8. He should slather himself in mud and crawl around the jungle, using himself as bait for the unbalanced budget. Then, just as the unbalanced budget figures out it's being lured into a trap, Gov. Schwarzenegger would start screaming, "COME ON! KILL ME! I'm here! Kill me! I'm here! Kill me! Come on! Kill me! I'm here! Come on! Do it now! Kill me!
  9. He should use a magic movie ticket to travel to a world of gunfights and car chases and steal a balanced budget.
  10. Tell the budget to get it's ass to Mars.
