I'm under the impression that the average of cuts does take us back to about 2006 levels (https://www.adn.com/voices/commentary/2016/06/20/lawmakers-have-indeed-cut-the-budget-and-here-are-the-numbers/).  At UAA, we've sustained 3 years of cuts and did receive $350 million last year. I feel like it's time to look at  new revenue too.
