How Far Can We Cut?

The Governor-Elect of NJ, Chris Christie, is talking about massive budget cuts as he begins his transition into office. Pennsylvania's Department of Higher Education is ready to increase class sizes and increase tuition bills by up to 10%. Many listener supported radio stations are on the verge of replacing live, local programs with satellite feeds from parts unknown. Medical practices are reducing office hours and referring patients to terribly overcrowded emergency rooms. Public schools are being forced to limit the number of students learning musical instruments. The list is endless. My question to all of you is when will we cut too far and permanently damage our nation?
