Team –
Last week, Jay Inslee created a budget deficit by vetoing several provisions in the bi-partisan plan sent to him by the legislature. His risky approach put the state more than $200 million in the red.
Worse, Inslee’s decision to deficit spend helps Democrats continue their obsession of arguing for tax increases. It’s a strategy Democrats have used before: create a deficit in order to create a “need” for raising taxes.
For decades, Democrats have produced similar irresponsible budgets that, in the end, raised taxes and made state government bigger.
It’s time to hold them accountable.
