Cold reality for it all
 It is encouraging to witness so many Louisianians express concern for the state's fiscal problems, especially as they relate to pending cuts in funding to higher education and health care.
In time, we'll learn how bad off state government is on the financial front. To put it more bluntly, in about seven months -- or toward the end of the 2011 regular legislative session -- we'll have a good idea how much money the state Legislature won't spend on higher ed and health care in the 2011-2012 fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2011. Until that time arrives, it's merely guess work to predict what the future holds for state government in general. Suffice it to say, tough times lie ahead, though there is a train of thought that state government needs to undergo a solid round of belt-tightening to help rein in out-of-control spending on many fronts -- health care and higher ed included.
