24 State Budget Crunch of states were forced to reduce their budgets. Revenues were typically 10% less than anticipated. States with the most severe deficits: AK, AZ, CA, NY, NC, OK, OR, VA, and WA Causes Cuts in taxes on business and individuals in the 1990s No sales tax collections on services Growth in costs of Medicaid 24

26 How Much Government is Enough? The question of how much government is enough is an important one in any society. It is the tradeoff between public and private goods. When government gets bigger, its increased involvement comes at the expense of less private consumption. 26
