Texas balances budget: Texas balances budget without raising taxes

Texas Lawmakers Kick Tough Decisions Down the Road - ABC News

Gov. Rick Perry signed a budget that was balanced only through accounting maneuvers, rewriting school funding laws, ignoring a growing population and delaying payments on bills coming due in 2013.

It accomplishes, however, what the Republican majority wanted most: It did not raise taxes, took little from the Rainy Day Fund and shifted any future deficits onto the next Legislature.

States across the nation faced major budget shortfalls this year, but none as big as Texas. While most legislatures chose to raise taxes and fees along with making cuts, Texas tea party activists put enormous pressure on the Republicans, who control every branch of state government, to manage the $27 billion shortfall through cuts alone. That included $7.8 billion to health and human services.

Much of the overall savings came through cuts to university and state agency budgets, but the bulk of it came from accounting sleight-of-hand and putting off the biggest problems until lawmakers come back in 2013. At that point, lawmakers will be bound by the balanced budget law to tap the Rainy Day Fund to cover any existing deficit and House rules will require fewer votes to do it.

The first accounting shift was to delay a $2.3 billion payment owed to public schools in 2012-2013 by one day, so that the bill isn't technically due until 2014, thereby going into the next budget. The new budget also assumes there will be no growth in the number of school children in Texas, even though it is one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. Critics say the state will short school districts $2 billion that way.

And much more after the jump.

Though Perry has President Obama to thank for getting him to this point.

Texas Used Stimulus to Cover 97% of Its Deficit - Derek Thompson - Business - The Atlantic

Turns out Texas was the state that depended the most on those very stimulus funds to plug nearly 97% of its shortfall for fiscal 2010, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Texas, which crafts a budget every two years, was facing a $6.6 billion shortfall for its 2010-2011 fiscal years. It plugged nearly all of that deficit with $6.4 billion in Recovery Act money, allowing it to leave its $9.1 billion rainy day fund untouched.

"Stimulus was very helpful in getting them through the last few years," said Brian Sigritz, director of state fiscal studies for the National Association of State Budget Officers, said of Texas.

That being said, USArmyRetired is a laughable Palin worshipper at best.

So you're saying Sarah Palin is attacking members of her own political party? Wow, I don't think she would like you spreading this kind of news, it doesn't look good for her to be spiteful like this.

Maybe you need to lay off your Sarah Fetish and leave the poor lady alone, you do her WAY more harm than good you know.

She's not running. This is just her way of remaining pertinent in the new cycle. It's financially prudent is all.

 

[rightwinger]

Attacking a governor who didn't quit?

She has so much to judge others on

 

[USArmyRetired]

Palin had a better record on debt than the other governor contenders.

 

[rightwinger]

Palin attacking Romney and Perry helps their credibility

Can you imagine if she said she agrees withe their positions?

 

[Ali777]

Palin had a better record on debt than the other governor contenders.

That's because the majority of the time she was Governor she was running for Vp.
Then she quit. Her approval rating in her own state are very low.

[NYcarbineer]

Palin endorsed Perry for governor in his primary.

 

[NYcarbineer]

When oil royalties pay for 80% of your state budget, you better have a better record.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Palin appears to be inching onto the Bachmann bandwagon.
