Deficits and Surpluses
July 18th 2011 12:44
According to an article in the Washington Post this morning, some states have figured out what seems to elude the federal government. Isn't it odd that mere states (tiny, little, insignificant as Washington DC thinks they are) have managed to come up with a combination of lower taxes and careful spending to get them out of the "red" and into the black?
You're welcome to cite the "stimulus" if you like, and say that the reason for their solvency is because of federal largess... but then you'll have to explain why ALL the states aren't prospering if the stimulus actually worked.
John Kasich is a good example of a new Governor who used common sense and wisdom to go from the deficit he started with in January to the surplus he has today. Mitch Daniels has been in office awhile and see how well Indiana is doing!
Pay close attention to the party affiliations of the successful governors, folks. Are any of them big spending, high tax liberals? Hmm? Seems to me that the solution to the same problems on a federal level could be solved by either emulating or (better yet) electing the same kind of national leaders as those successful states now have.
