Would you believe that the state legislature writes the state budget every two years without using a spreadsheet? We couldn’t believe it either. That’s why MacIver did it for them. But, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Bill and Mike explain exactly how the state assembles its budget, and why everything about it is wrong. At the end of the day, the state knows exactly where it gets its money from, but it only has a vague idea of where it goes…
Bill and Mike also share the 400-year history of American tax uprisings, and why Americans don’t share their ancestors’ sense of outrage over out-of-control government.
All that and more on this episode of the MacIver Report.
