Weren't Dubya's tax cuts supposed to end the world?
To: Libloather
This same increase in tax revenues will occur on the Federal level as well. I hope it occurs soon enough to influence this years election, providing, of course that the left-wing fellow traveler mass media chooses to report news that will hamper the prospects of their anoited RAT canidates. I will not hold my breath. If a RAT wins the Presidency, the mass media will then report on a "booming economy" and attribute it to the RATS.

So does anyone think the state governments will save some of that surplus for the next rainy day? Or will they spend it like the hogs they are?

As a result, state spending growth has come to a virtual halt.
There's a silver lining in every cloud!

Suggestion to states: announce that henceforth, if someone wants to start a business in your state, they need only pay a small fee for the paperwork. Announce your getting rid of pretty much all licensing requirements. Announce that you will no longer tell companies how to run their businesses. Reduce paperwork to nearly nothing. As long as the company isn't hurting anyone by excessive pollution or violating other's property rights, they can do as they please.
You can then fire a ton of bureaucrats and entrepreneurs will flock to your state, thereby giving you a huge surplus.
Don't let leftists tell us that raising taxes is "the only way."
