Or we could put Oklahoma down. It's been long overdue, and we can tell that it's in pain. Just replace it with Puerto Rico and we won't have to change the flag!
(total sarcasm, sorry if I offended any Oklahomans)

No, seriously, explain yourself -- what do you wanna see from Oklahoma after it trims itself to the strictures you evidently desire?

Oklahoma made the mistake of not acclimating people to living without government services. It's not a leap to be taken quickly.Vassenor wrote:

Looks like we're halfway there to prosperity.
Alicia Priest, president of Oklahoma Education Association, said she is disappointed in the outcome of the vote and encouraged lawmakers to keep trying to approve a pay raise for the state's teachers, who have not had a pay increase in 10 years. Oklahoma is ranked 49th in the nation in teacher pay.
"Today our members are back at school doing their job and they expect nothing less of our legislators," Priest said. "If there's a better plan, I expect to see it soon."
Priest said the organization's nearly 40,000 members expect state lawmakers to put aside partisan politics and gamesmanship that she says prevented passage of the revenue-raising bill in the House.
"We are not on a sustainable course and we've got to make a turn somewhere," Priest said. "The reality is we're going to have to raise revenue. Somewhere along the line we all have to pay our part to fund core government services."
