What's BS about it? There is no money.

I,too, see no bullshit here. The money is gone.
I commend the governor and responsible legislators for this:

"The action taken today preserves critical safety-net services for Michigan families, including Medicaid eligibility and child welfare programs along with funding for higher education, community colleges, and school aid.

"While these spending reductions are essential to meet our constitutional obligation to balance the budget, we have maintained critical services that Michigan citizens must rely on during this recession," said Granholm. "We expect to have to make more cuts like these in the future, which are the very type of wrenching cuts we have worked so hard to avoid in the past."

It could be, and probably will be, worse in the future. The real B.S. here is the partisan gamesmanship and obstruction that has become the norm in Lansing.
