By cutting everything there was to cut in a budget. Now let's see how he's gonna deal with $24 billion deficit.

There is a reason businesses are leaving the west coast and coming here.
Yeah, it's the same reason why many IT companies outsourced their operations to India... low wages + right-to-work laws. That's hardly something to be proud of.

What would you do about the budget? During the time Texas overcame the previous deficit, it managed to put $8B in the bank.

Any good jobs that other states want to send here instead of India - that's ok with me. As for right to work laws - what do you like better? protected unions that candidates suck up to and reward with state money for their votes? In other words a built in cycle of near-corruption?
