Well at least in Florida they are trying to control costs, not succeeding, but trying. But on it's face, you are right. It's as if the government believed it's own fairy tale of the endless rising taxes receipts because of endless rising house tax assessments. I know our local stooges did.
I still remember back in 2005 with Bush crowing that more people own their own home than ever. The part he didn't explain was how many of those owners couldn't pay for them.

They have to continue believing the fairy tale or they’ll have to admit that they are wrong, which will never happen.
