I've been thinking lately, why just cut government, how about replacing it completely. We could privatize the park system, start with Yosemite. Use private security guards and armed cowboys instead of those pricey Rangers. Charge hikers by the mile with surcharges for mountain peaks. Install another set of cables and an escalator on Half Dome. Those waterfalls should have generators on them to power LCD billboards behind the water. Gotta have a strip mall or two, maybe a sports arena. Rock concerts at Mirror Lake with laser lights bouncing off Half Dome, how cool is that. The Ahwahnee should be an Indian casino - great name for it. Toyota would pay big bucks for Sequoia commercials with SUVs flying through those groves. We don't need all those big trees either, just keep the biggest ones for bungee jumping. Why wait for snow plows to clear the road to Tuolumne when you can rent a snowmobile. We can do better than just cut government. ;)
