shorting the state budget another $1 billion and forcing more cuts in services and layoffs.

Sounds to me like VA invested too much in Government.

I’m shocked that the media says there is a budget shortfall. After all according to the Washington Compost, budget shortfalls are Gilmore’s fault and surpluses are the work of Mark Warner.

Yeah that is interesting. That shortfall is almost as much as Mark Warner raised taxes (1.4 billion). I wonder if the rainy day fund will have to be dipped into. lol This is good news. Thanks for the post Corin!

What happened - too many people forced to quit smoking due to high cigarette taxes?

I don’t understand. I thought we were told the Democrats were going to save us financially.

Ever wonder why States with Democrat Governors ALWAYS have budget shortfalls, while States with Republican governors (excepting Ahhhhhnold in Cali.) is more of a 50/50 proposition? Here in Mississippi, Gov. kirk Fordice had a huge budget surplus. His successor, Ronnie Musgrove, sqauandered it. HIS successor is Haley Barbour and our budget is back to normal.

Did you ever have a time when you were financially flush so you went on a little spending spree? Remember how darn good it felt? That’s the same feeling politicians get spending the peoples’ money.

The difference between conservative politicians (not always the same as Republican) and liberals ones is responsibility. Conservatives can reign in their feel-good tendencies. Liberals can’t - they are too much all about feelings instead of reasoning.

When it comes to state or federal budgets, liberals go ahead and spend whatever is “necessary” to further their feel-good programs. They know they can later use the resulting deficits as the reason to call for new taxes.

Two strategies, illustrating the difference between adults and juveniles.

Our “esteemed” elected representatives spend our money like a drunk college kid with a new credit card. When will our politicians grow up?

I had never seen horseface-er Kaine - until last night.

I heard him say he inherited Virginia budgets that were a disaster and he is fixing things so wonderfully - you mean he is an ugly, lying, thieving, spending, taxing Democrat?

surprised me - not
