How States Can Get Their Fiscal House in Order

Government spending is at an all-time high, and with the federal debt reaching its highest levels since World War II, and state government spending has risen more than 90% in the past 40 years, taxpayers are on the hook to support this out-of-control spending.
The project scholars, Dr. Barry Poulson, Professor of Economics at the University of Colorado, and Dr. John Merrifield, critical researcher and former faculty member at the University of Texas at San Antonio, created the fiscal calculator to introduce the public to TABOR limits and its benefits to taxpayers. The site allows you to compare the actual spending of each state to the estimated spending under the TABOR limit in the form of charts and graphs.
