Minnesota budget. Your cut? Six words.

At this point, the current Minnesota budget crisis is all about finding a solution that will pass the Legislature and that Gov. Tim Pawlenty will sign.

We've had some fun with six word responses on the recession, health care and what happened to your career.

More than fun, your creative responses really opened a window on the challenges of life in the Great Recession.

So let's try to do the same thing with the budget. Tell us what government service you'd be willing to do without or what cut you'd make in the budget. I'm especially interested in specific government services or projects in your town or community that you think could be trimmed or eliminated.

Personally, the money spent on paying off debt really grinds on me.

NOTE: Our efforts were inspired by SMITH Magazine's ongoing Six-Word Memoir project.
