No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

$1,941 – CORRECTION – $194

by @ 19:06 on February 18, 2009. Filed under Politics - Wisconsin, Taxes.

That is the net per-capita annual tax increase in Jim Doyle’s Spendulus budget. Christian Schneider and the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute broke down all the tax changes, though I believe they grossly understated the oil tax.

Bonus item – give or take a few million, the $2,185,639,000 represents essentially the entire “structural” deficit portion of the $5,700,000,000 hole Doyle created for himself at the beginning of the year, with the remainder being previously-planned increases in spending.

Revisions/extensions (7:20 pm 2/18/2009) - Somewhere in the bloated reader, I read that the Doyle Spendulus budget still has an over-$2 billion structural deficit pushed over to the middle of 2011. So much for limiting spending.

R&E part 2 (8:47 pm 2/18/2009) - I should have known better than to trust the Craps numbers. They screwed up.

R&E part 3 (6:52 am 2/19/2009 - Speaking of screw-ups, I stuck an additional zero somewhere. Sorry about that.
