“One Wisconsin lawmaker is suggesting a novel approach to the problem: solving it.”

From the MacIver Institute: State Sen. Mike Ellis, talking about solving Wisconsin’s budget deficit:

As the video points out, the deficit might actually be a lot bigger than the currently-official $1.2 billion. Still, this is the kind of tough thinking it’s going to take not just to balance the budget, but to prevent overwhelming deficits in the future.

Maybe John Boehner should give Ellis a call.

Note to the MacIver Institute, though: maybe you wanna be a little more choosy about those close-ups in the future. You know, depending on your subject.
