Spending continues unchecked.
People don’t understand government “fund accounting.”
In Fund Accountong, unlike a business, they recognize proceeds of debt issued as revenue. A surplus often means they borrowed extra money.
For example...
“Overall, the budget includes nearly $140 billion from the state’s general fund and more than $60 billion in bond and special funds. And it forecasts a nearly $9 billion surplus, which would make it the largest in more than decade.”
