Do you think the Pennsylvania government is spending to much?
Important indicators of fiscal health reveal the severity of Pennsylvania’s overspending problem. Between 1970 and 2007—when state spending increased a whopping 168% in inflation-adjusted dollars—our commonwealth ranked:
* 49th in job growth,
* 45th in personal income growth, and
* 48th in population growth among the 50 states.Unfortunately, this long-term problem has not been remedied in recent years. During Governor Ed Rendell’s first term in office (2003-07), state spending increased by 28%, yet Pennsylvania still ranked an unhealthy:
* 38th in job growth,
* 40th in personal income growth, and
* 42nd in population growth among the 50 states.
