If you can grow your spending to the edge of financial insolvency, you can most certainly cut your way back to a sustainable budget.

Harry had his chance to lead on energy in Alaska while on the Chugach Board.  Instead he pushed for more wind generators on Fire Island - you know, the generators that cost all Chugach members a surcharge for the privilege of using their generated electricity.  Granted he didn't do that all the time, as he spent most meetings asleep in his chair, which is hardly leadership.  Cheers -
