[applause] the first gentleman will just have to help out with the cooking. he makes eight main bologna sandwich. -- a mean bologna sandwich. [laughter] and we will get rid of that ultimate symbol of waste and excess, we will sell the state's luxury jet. we must remember that the long- term solution to our budget woes is economic growth. we increase revenue by helping small businesses create new jobs - not by government creating new taxes. let me speak plainly -- new mexicans are not under-taxed. the government has simply over- spent.
