Wisconsin's budget surplus.

[Woodznutz]

Wisconsin has a budget surplus of $4Billion. The governor wants to spend it on more social programs in order to garner more Dem votes. The Republicans want to use it for a tax cut so they can garner more votes. Meanwhile the state's debt of $11 Billion goes unpaid, costing the citizens unnecessary interest payments.

Whoever gets the most votes in the legislature wins. That's democracy as a republic.

Evers is a Marxist faggot....He'll demand to spend it to buy votes.

I hate to be the math guy here but if you have 4 billion in the bank but owe 11 billion you don’t have a fucking surplus. You need to save up another 7 billion to pay that off. Only then can you have a surplus.

The debt is long-term contractual obligations.
The surplus is a short-term revenue surplus.

Republicans have a super majority in the Wisconsin legislature, but Governor Evers has powerful veto powers and vetoes almost all Republican bills and is backed up by a liberal leaning State Supreme Court.

Elections have consequences.

Wisconsin is a strange state. We voted in more Republicans to the legislature while reelecting a very liberal governor. No wonder we have a budget surplus. We can't pass any bills that require funding.

Yup. That's par for the course.

Kentucky is the same way. Republicans run the state legislature, but they elected a Dem governor and then reelected him! I left the state!

The very same.

This is an annual surplus you say?
Yes, pay down the debt. Falling interest will accelerate paydown over time.

Keep paying down the debt until there is no debt as ColonelAngus noted.

Only in government land being $7 BILLION in the red is a surplus.

Two different things. You can have a budget surplus but still be in debt.

If you have a mortgage this is the situation.

No you can't and no it isn't.
