Solutions To The America’s Hard Economic Time

With $1.3 trillion deficit decline in State’s Revenue, and 43 States faced with budget deficit, these proves that the United States of America is not left out in this hard economic time. As a solution to the situation, 2012 taxes, tax cuts was enacted.  Unfortunately, it was tricky hence; the US resorted to slashing programs and lowering costs. Worse still, it led to increase of some taxes but still a total of eight-tax cut set forth.

2012 taxes, tax cuts stands out as a major challenge. Brooking reports show that 40 States raised taxes and consequently spending declined. Previously, taxes increased by nearly $24, translating to a cool 3.5% increase. 2012 taxes, tax cuts therefore look slightly effective in the struggle to shrink the State’s deficits. Large States like New York and California, recorded a bulk of tax increase.

Among the six States that raised taxes the most, five of them slashed services in various sectors namely public health, higher education, State workforce, early education and K-12 and the elderly or disabled. This is a clear indication that 2012 taxes, tax cuts is close to impossible or else the country suffers a decline. Two states also slashed their services in four of these sectors while the other two scrapped off funding for all the five sectors.

Interestingly though, the States with the highest tax raise still had some of the most generous programs for the residents instead 2012 taxes, tax cuts.

In the 2008 fiscal year, out of the six States, four of them spent over $4,600. This exceeded the national average of $4,114 per individual.
