"U.S. cities are projected to lose about $360 billion of revenue through 2022 because of the economic damage caused by the coronavirus pandemic, an unprecedented loss that would trigger deep spending and job cuts, according to a National League of Cities analysis released Thursday, May 14."

That's about $1,000 per each for every living American. You have a family of four?
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Trigger deep spending cuts? By .gov? LOL.

It's the totalitarian vision: take the total of your money and give you back a sliver of it.

wasn't caused by the virus
it was caused by the policies of elected leaders to address the virus

I'm surprised they haven't raised gas taxes already. With gas prices and consumption both crashed, state road funds have to be flat broke, or on the verge of it. Unless Uncle Sam dumps boatloads of money into the state road funds, some sort of increased road fund tax seems fairly inevitable.

Not happening. Trump has an economic revamp going on.

I believe so, too, Hanco. Louisiana has taken it between the cheeks with Covid and oil prices.

You got that right hanco! Tax payers---if there are any left---have to pay back the money that the government just gave them in the form of "stimulus money." Everything that the government dangles in front of its subjects comes with hooks. The government does not give one anything. Nothing is for free. Our Republic was founded on the principle that we---the people---if left alone---were fully capable to do for ourselves and prosper using our own abilities and our God Given (inalienable) rights. I fear that kind of thinking has been socially and genetically filtered from the U.S. conscious.

No tax increases needed. Just cut wages and benefits by 20% across the board for Gov't. workers. They make too much for what they do and it's time to bring them in line with the reality of private sector workers.

They make too much for what they do and it's time to bring them in line with the reality of private sector workers. That's my sentiment......... Let them have to face things like wage concessions, layoffs, benefit reductions, etc. Just like those in the private sector have to face. We could call it the "Employment Equality" program. Just so we can make it fair for both public and private sector employees.

LOL.....To begin with, I do not recall ever asking, receiving, nor needing any kind of an education from you..........YES! I have thought about state and local taxes. And the process works basically the same way, with some variances from state to state in order to increase taxes through the legislative process............Process 101........Ol Tits!
