Are we seeing a repeat of California? We’ve got big things to pay for and not enough money to pay for them, solution? Either raise taxes on an already hurting populus and on struggling local business’s or cut some things from the budget. Every special interest group (not all bad either) is clamoring for a piece of the shrinking pie.
Hard decisions which need to be made yesterday. The problem is a lot of people are going to be unhappy with the result however it turns out, a situation politicians are reticent to create.
From the Philly Inquirer,
HARRISBURG – Yesterday marked yet another day in the Capitol with much talk and action, but no fundamental change in the stalemate over a state budget.
Almost four weeks into the new fiscal year without a spending plan, Gov. Rendell and Republicans in the legislature do not appear any closer to breaking the impasse over what the fiscal blueprint should be for Pennsylvania during the Great Recession.
On Twitter Rep Denglinger said,
Senate budget an SB 850 revisit. Can’t spend what you don’t have…except in Washington! Perhaps we should buy a printing press. #pabudget
