Kaine releases revenue figures
By JR Hoeft | Monday, February 16th, 2009 | Policy
Wondering how much of a state deficit we’re going to have? Kaine just released the numbers.
What’s the outcome? We make money because of the Federal government’s actions! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, here’s the money quote:
“In sum, the combination of the downward and upward adjustments to biennial revenues should produce a positive benefit to the Virginia budget, avoiding the need for additional budgetary cuts in the near term.”

Here’s another great quote:
I am confident that these programs, as well as the tax credits and other funding resources, will stimulate the Virginia economy quickly so that by December 2009 our revenue picture will be much healthier.
That’s disgusting. Government wins on the taxpayer’s credit card.
So, since all of this Federal Tax Bailout money is coming from Communist China, can we thank them for propping up our Labor Unions at GM and Chrysler? Can we thank the Democrats for skillfully getting the Communist Loot , and more importantly, do we build a new statue of Obama on Monument Avenue and engrave, “DEAR LEADER” on it?
All this borrow & spend ‘solution” will do is DELAY the eventual collapse of the Fderal, State, and Local governments.
It will also allow many of those that lead Corporate America that are little more than looters and were caught by surprise last fall will have time to divest themseves of their bad risk and pass it onto the American taxpayers and the global investors.
Meanwhile DNC Chairman Governor Tim Kaine spends his focus on electing more Socialist Democrats instead of find ways to reduce state spending and lower taxes for homeowners and small businessess.
. . . and the lines at the unemployment office just keep growing … and growing.
It is kinda hard to pay a mortgage without a job and the income you had to afford your monthly expenses. Buy a new car? Are you kidding me?
Yes, Reid, so we’ll have to invest in mass transit.
“We” Henry? Don’t you mean “Me” and others like me should be forced to “invest” that in your far-to-expensive HRT Light Rail-to-nowhere train/TOD boondoggle along the NS ROW?
What are you going to “invest”?
Yes, Reid, it’s always about YOU and people like you. Never about people not like you.
