The Onion Mercifully Kills Off The Clippers

AUTHOR: | IN: Clippers | COMMENTS: No Comments |

I thought I was at the Clippers’ opening game & what I saw showed promise, but I guess I must’ve dreamed it in my desperate hope for something good to happen.  It turns out the Onion has the story as to what truly happened.  And as my great-grandpappy used to say: “If it’s in the news, it must be true.”

As the excellent Center for Budget and Policy Priorities has documented, the aftermath of the recession wrought by the financial crisis has plunged virtually every U.S. state into a deep fiscal crisis. State tax receipts remain 12 percent below pre-recession levels. The states faced a total of $120 billion in budget gaps for fiscal year 2011, and are estimated to confront a total of $140 billion in budget gaps in fiscal year 2012. At the same time, fiscal assistance provided by the federal government in the 2009 stimulus bill is running out and will be almost completely gone by the end of 2012, even though the states will continue to face major budget gaps. In the context of a weak economy, both spending cuts and tax increases threaten to further depress economic activity (though targeted tax increases on the wealthy would have a less negative impact on recovery than increased taxes on the working and middle classes).
