"Bush bears the brunt" but also the majority of the benefits. Without trimming payouts and tapping the PF, how many schools would have to close? Or Troopers have to be cut? Or Quest benefits reduced?

I am openly a "tax first, cut last" sort of guy and I'm willing to take my lumps for it. But complaining that the Bush is going to get more of a raw deal than the road system as belts are tightened is horse-hockey. Everybody is losing an equal amount of their PFD - but it is the gainfully employed urbanite who will be asked to chip in more to subsidize the Bush.
