Don’t you think it is about time to consider controlling the growth in state government spending?
Then why not buy in to this idea?
After all, the citizens of Colorado benefited with legislation that limited government spending to the rate of inflation and the growth in population indexes (remember TABOR or the Taxpayer Bill of Rights?). By choosing to limit government, Colorado grew its economy starting in the early 90’s. In fact, since Colorado voters first enacted TABOR in 1992, more than $3200 were returned to the average family of four.
Unfortunately for Pennsylvanians, during Gov. Rendell’s tenure the state’s general fund has grown 5 times faster than increases in the average weekly wage! Spending is definitley out of control in Harrisburg.
Talk to your state representative and state senator today to be sure they understand that government MUST live within its means!!!!

Also, it’s not ALL bad news in Pennsylvania for a change. For example:
-PA added 2800 jobs in Dec., while 17 states lost jobs in Dec.
-Because the housing boom was more modest in PA, there are less losses to be realized
with the bust in the mortgage market.
-PA’s durable goods manufacturing sector has stabilized. The sector now provides 414,000 jobs and some employers say they are doing well-perhaps aided by the weaker dollar that makes American made goods cheaper overseas. All heavy manufacturing states like PA benefit from the cheap dollar!
Hey, let’s accentuate the positive for a change!!!
