this implies that the overall state budget rose by 163% over the period, are we talking implications or facts? two tax cuts implies the budget didn't rise 163%.

Vermont is a very poor state. Over 22% of the state's families are on some type of public assistance. Mr Dean has a great track record.

Vermont is a very poor state. Over 22% of the state's families are on some type of public assistance. I know a few young people who left Vermont and came here to the Boston area in hopes of finidng retail and administrative jobs. Talk about low expectations. Vermont couldn't even meet those low expectations. Vermont exports all its young people, and imports wealthy middle-aged wealthy New Yorkers like Howard Dean who after having trashed NYC to get their money, and now want to do yoga and preserve forests somewhere, seek to reshape Vermont in the vague pc image they think it should be. And its dairy industry is long gone by the wayside. It's really sad. Howard Dean has a great track record.

rd, this reply is to your original post on the matter. i did overlook the % of total budget so the numbers appear hard and fast. however, you didn't link the source i'd like to see that. something doesn't add up, though, given your numbers. there's no way dean coulda balanced that budget without raising taxes. so, either your source is wrong or dean's misleading. both are possible. i'll keep trying to dig up some info.

rd, vermont DOES NOT have a balanced budget provision. ,b.Throughout his career in public service, Howard Dean has been a consistent advocate of balanced budgets andfiscally responsible government, and has a record that shows this commitment. Having inherited a budgetdeficit, he balanced the state budget for 11 straight years even though Vermont does not have a constitutional balanced budget provision. Vermont’s per capita income is 26thin the nation. 216.239.33.104 so, you can stop repeating that misinformation, okay?

rutlandherald.nybor.com “As bad as this is, it could be a lot worse had we not been fiscally conservative in the past few years,” House Speaker Walter Freed, R-Dorset, said Tuesday. “I want to attribute it to our own fiscal conservatism over the last two years. … It’s important that people in the state who hear this message realize we’re here because we’ve been fiscally conservative in the past few years. Everyone’s had a piece in this.” republican call vermont "fiscally conservative." is your republican buddy lying, rd?
