The federal government gets to print up the money to pay the bills, the state governments claim the need for more money as a result of price increases, and those paying the bills (the little people) get to tighten their buckles and do with less while all the various government agencies simply get more money to cope with the Fed created i the first place.
Do the little people get raises to account for inflation?
No.
What’s their special prize, Bob?
They are lucky to keep their jobs! No raises necessary! Price increases on staple good is just a matter of fact, no questions necessary either.
But hey, “Country’ll grow”. (or government at least)
“Seriously … do these people not have calendars? What’s so complicated about starting the year on January 1 and ending it on December 31?”
Uhh..because the legislative session runs from Jan 1 to July 1?
Shit… the sessions run damn near year round in this state. Technically from Jan 1 to July 1, but in order to earn more money legislators stick around all year.
“One notable exception to all of this expanded excess? The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) – which is not seeking any additional funding.”
I guess you did not read the info you provided. The page you linked to indicates that DHEC IS requesting additional one time monies.
No one in Haley’s administration should cry about the costs of expanded Medicaid, when PPACA offered to pay 100% of that cost for three years, and no less than 90% through 2020.
Yes, I know that PPACA would expand coverage beyond what South Carolina would do on its own, but it still looks like Kentucky will be using funds that Haley turned down.
LEATHERMAN has this money spent long before everyone else knew it existed.
He controls the State’s budget like it is his own.
I just hope the Hunley get its annual $12 million (funded via Clemson). It’s a real job-creator.
We should sell the roads to Boeing and burn down the schools.
Most of the money is needed to pay state employees.
