What's going to be funny is that if oil came back to $100 a barrel tomorrow and the money started rolling in again all of the wailing in the wickiups and wringing of hands and spending and dooms day predictions would end abruptly, the legislature could start writing checks again and nothing would be remembered. Remember the bumper sticker that said "Lord give us another chance and we won't blow it like the last one" seen during the 80's bust, it would just happen again. It will have to be like the depression and be ground in so deep that it's feared for a few generations to make any change.
