WISDOM, LEADERSHIP & GOOD BUDGET SENSE
In the last 25 Years, Pennsylvania’s State Budget, Taxes and
Debt have all gone through the roof. In 1982, PA’s General
Fund was $7.6 billion. In 2008 it’s over $27 billion!
The State income tax was 2.2%. Today it’s 3.07%—up 40%!!
Since 2003, State spending has increased over 2½ times the
rate of inflation!!! During this time State Government Bond
Debt has skyrocketed to over $37 billion -- about $3,000.00 per person, or $12,000.00 for a family of four! Who can afford this debt repayment? Two State Pension Funds will soon bankrupt us.
Our population has been stable, meaning that government
keeps spending more and more of Your money. In 2006, an
$840 million State surplus was gobbled up by Harrisburg. In
2007, it was $650 million not being returned to You, the
Taxpayer. Harrisburg needs Conservative Citizens in The
House of Representatives and Senate—the General Assembly.
