"And right now a serious collapse can certainly be avoided by judicious planning and careful and targeted work on both raising revenue and making cuts. Anyone who goes out of their way to court some short term disaster is just asking to be smited by the unknown- not something I would ask for. " A young gold miner was trying to get a pack donkey to move out on the trail. All his pulling and tugging were for naught until a grizzled old prospector walked up to the Donkey with a two by four and bashed the Donkey over the head temporarily stunning it.
