Budget Cuts

I know everyone's sick of hearing about budget cuts at school- "We can't do this because of budget cuts...Budget cuts this year mean we have to cancel this class...The budget cuts make it impossible to fund this..."
So I'm pretty much tired of hearing about anything to do with budget cuts, unless it involves releasing around 22,000 convicts (mostly L.A.) from prison much earlier than they should be released.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said he's been doing everything he can- which is, obviously, nothing- to make the most practical cuts and to do what's best, but...is releasing a bunch of convicts early from jail the best and smartest thing to do?
Look at it like this: Most of the convicts are from Los Angeles. So they're released earlier than what their sentence actually is, which means they'll most probably get back to LA and start robbing banks and vandalizing property and whatever else they did to get jailed for. LA Police take pride in the fact that they are the most efficient in catching criminals and that they catch the most in the least amount of time. So we're still safe right?
Well, not really...since Gov Schwarzenegger's brilliant idea of laying off police will obviously have an impact. And the fact that all 22,000 convicts will be released in a short amount of time doesn't help much either, does it?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
