We’ve got to have money fast.
– Sen. David Hoyle

After screwing up multiple get-rich-quick schemes, from Dell Computer to the Global TransPark, in the past and create new programs, legislators are going back to their employers – the taxpayers – and demanding a more money to continue their spending streak.

Few people make good money decisions under duress. Legislators looking to raise taxes in a fragile economy are unlikely to prove wiser, and instead will hurt the economy further.
