What goes up
and never comes down?
State Spending.
State spending has overwhelmed inflation and wages.
Steve Brunk says it’s time to get REAL.
Over the years the Kansas budget has grown about 4 times higher than the rate of inflation. According to the Kansas Legislative Research Department, we are already $228 million in the hole for next year, and another $475.7 million down for the year after that … and that’s assuming an improbable 4% increase in revenues to the state. I know that government money is really your money, and I will continue to be a good steward of your tax dollars.
The REAL Act would:
- Limit government spending to the rate of inflation plus population increases
- Require a 2/3 super majority of legislators to impose a new tax or increase an existing tax rate
- Set aside funds to handle emergency and disaster relief
- Create a rainy day fund for economic downturns
