STATE BUDGET DEFICITS

Cumulative state budget deficits for fiscal year 2009 are projected to be $168 Billion despite states having received more than $200 Billion in direct federal "stimulus" assistance. No doubt, a large portion of this shortfall (which equals 24% of expected expenditures) is caused by recession. But lots is also caused by tax policies which have often limited property taxes after voter referendum, made corporate taxes incredibly sensitive to changes in receipts or sales; and in general made state tax revenue much more sensitive to economic downturn. If companies deemed too big to fail must increase capital reserves; then the states should also be required to maintain much higher rainy day (or surplus) funds. This topic covers the latest news and information on state budget deficits.
