2 Despite Multiple Headwinds, Vermont Revenues Remain Close to Target Through October Total Revenues (General, Transportation and derived Education Funds) are just over $1M above target on a base of about $520M - a variance of less than half of one percent (with an expected corporate income adjustment) Personal Income is up $0.7M with $196M collected through October Meals and Rooms revenues were up $1.7M vs. targets (+4%), despite severe flooding damage and related business disruptions, although full Hurricane Irene impacts will not be known for another 2-3 months Slight weakness was evident in Motor Vehicle Purchase and Use (-$1.1M), Property Transfer (-$0.2M), Sales & Use (-$0.6M) and Lottery (-$0.4M) consumption taxes bear close watching

4 External Economic Conditions, However, Continue to be Daunting Double Dip Recession risks are now close to 40% due to: Political and policy paralysis surrounding the European debt crisis Political and policy paralysis surrounding critical U.S. budget and fiscal issues Oil price hikes associated with the Arab Spring that have resulted in about $125 billion in additional 2011 U.S. fuel costs (about the same as the entire payroll tax holiday) Receding federal fiscal stimulus and state and local spending cuts that have resulted in a net contractionary public sector fiscal policy The Japanese earthquake and tsunami in the spring of 2011 that negatively impacted domestic U.S. and global manufacturing activity Continued weakness in housing markets, as delayed foreclosures come to market and further depress prices

6 Real Estate Markets Have Their Own Cycle and Will Not Fully Recover for Several Years Real estate markets are characterized by pronounced cyclicality and regional variation Housing price declines are slowing throughout the country and will probably end within 6-9 months in most states Renewed price appreciation, however, will be very slow for several years depressing new construction and related industries Second-home prices have been and will be most vulnerable to decline The Vermont Property Tax base (Grand List) will not reach 2009 peak levels before 2016 (and not reach 2010 levels before 2015)

22 The Halting Economic Recovery Has Been Painfully Slow
23 Are There Any Reasons for Optimism? Households have drastically reduced debt, with the portion of income devoted to debt servicing likely to reach a record low by early The delinquency rate for all debt besides first mortgages is lower than at the start of the recession and is still declining Corporate balance sheets are exceptionally strong, with record profits, productivity growth and margins. Corporate capital, especially for larger firms is plentiful and cheap. Debt refinancing has lowered costs and firms have ample capacity to hire if and when demand increases The U.S. banking sector is now generally well-capitalized and lending is picking up (albeit from very low levels), though standards remain stringent The weak U.S. dollar has pushed exports to record levels in virtually every region of the country. If/when foreign demand accelerates, the U.S. will benefit Public policy blunders aside, the U.S. is capable of near-term federal borrowing at very low interest rates and managing long term debt reduction without draconian spending cuts or massive tax increases if both are used The economy is cyclical, real estate is cyclical, equity markets are cyclical

34 Public Policy Continues to be Critical to a Sustained Recovery Net government fiscal policy (federal, state and local) has been contractionary, as early federal stimulus fades. Recent job-related proposals, in part or whole, would renew and extend federal fiscal support to the economy at a critical time Reasonable political compromise is in the U.S. national interest With fewer political constraints, the Fed has engaged in broader public policy support, with an unprecedented 2 year commitment to the current 0% federal funds rate, plentiful liquidity, aggressive quantitative easing and other twists, however treasonous European policy-makers must act decisively to stabilize their financial sector and evolve political institutions commensurate with euro-zone economic realities
35 Uncertainty in External Economic Environment Will Require Heightened Attention To Changing Conditions Close scrutiny of emerging trends in Vermont tax receipts, especially consumption and income taxes Analysis and model simulations of potential contagion effects of European debt/default scenarios Hope, despite an election year, for political sanity in near term federal fiscal support and longer term fiscal realignment, with a reasonable mix of spending cuts and revenue enhancements Prayer for positive externalities, instead of negative ones
