MUTH’S TRUTHS
(Chuck Muth) – Let’s say you work for a business that pays you $60,000 a year.
And let’s say business slows down and the owner says he has to reduce your salary to $55,000 a year.
What do you do?
Most people would find non-essential spending to cut from their family budget to account for the reduction in income.
Some, however, will begin draining their savings account so they can keep spending what they’ve been spending.
But guess what?
Eventually, their savings will run out and they’ll be forced to make the tough spending decisions.
That’s where the Nevada Legislature finds itself today.
The Economic Forum has declared that tax revenue in Nevada is down.
Which means legislators need to either make the tough decisions on cutting non-essential spending…or kick the can down the road and raid the state’s Rainy Day Fund.
Guess which path Democrats (and maybe some Republicans?) in Carson City are taking.
