The Progressive Pulse – Federal decisions on budget will compound state budget woes

These cuts make little sense when you consider the Federal deficit was $242B last month alone.

The aggregate of State’s budget deficits over 3 years is $278B, while the federal deficit over the same 3 year period is $2.4T.

Somehow, the federal deficit has to be contained, and like all other government cuts, it starts with services instead of high paying salaries and positions. It would seem fewer of these high paying positions would be needed to provide fewer services.

No, the fix for our economy is less taxes and less spending, not more. Like a cancer, the only question is whether the patient can survive the cure. But like a cancer, we treat it or the patient dies anyway.
