Yay Colorado. Though scraping the spending provisions for TABOR might shift us down a few notches.

The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Think the trend has been headed in that direction for some time my friend.

It cracks me up how they are always trotting out this argument about the "ratchet effect" of TABOR. Yeah, I see how it works but all they have to do is put a vote to the people when it happens if they want more money. If it's truly needed and they make a good case for it, the vote will carry. TABOR is the best defense against the economic Californication of a state I have ever seen.

Preaching to the choir brother. How is it that government can NEVER do without less? Budgets ALWAYS have to increase even if the citizens have to suffer. Crazy.

I too am a supporter of TABOR. It does exactly what it's meant to do -- limit government spending. Sure, when the economy goes south, the availability of funds goes down, and the government has to build back up over subsequent years, but it prevents borrowing and carrying a state deficit. If the state would only learn to spend more wisely ...
