As for the budget cuts, I've long favored the complete elimination of employer contributions to health care and as for the university system, I'd be shocked if there wasn't ample room to make cuts that should be made (whether those are the ones that will be made is a different matter).

Heh, well of course there are cuts to be made. After all, in addition to teaching a bunch of Georgians, we can always ask faculty to do administrative asst work, clean floors, take care of buildings and grounds, etc. Because that's where budget cuts are coming from as people (at least in some states) tend to value education of their children enough to not cut faculty.

But as parents (or future parents) of children who are going through state education and might one day find a niche at Tech or similar state organization, I'd much rather money not get wasted on rain dances and capital punishment pursuits.
