More taxes, more spending, no answers

State government (taxing and) spending of your money won't abate in the next couple of years.  That's the plan in Olympia's current budget.

We are getting soaked.  Your individual share of the tax burden will be $7,814.63. That number is the result of the total taxes in the budget ($56,953,000,000) divided by the number of all Washington residents (~7,288,000 people).  

We are on the edge of a a massive setback to our economy due to the Corona virus.  This budget, based on  massive tax increase, is the Democrats' answer.  But taxing and spending never have solved problems.  This budget is the Democrats' way of avoiding any real work.

For additional historical perspective, note that the total budget of the entire United States government was under $100,000,000,000 per annum in 1961.
