How would you cope with the moral dilemma of cutting a community program to balance a budget?
Find another way to fund the program whether through a sales tax or some form of revenue. Cuts to community programs are always a bad thing.

The inability of the government to balance its budget suggests poor structuring of government expenditures and poor accountability of the return on government investment including in community programs. If effective and return-investing alternatives ways of maintaining a community program are not feasible, the government must determine what expenses are best to preserve and figure out ways to use the tax system to incentivize private industry to invest where the government has been forced to retreat.
