How States Can Design Fiscal Rules to Protect Taxpayers

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.
Now, the new ALEC Fiscal Rules website, FiscalRules.org, shows you how much money your state would have saved with TABOR. Working alongside fiscal rules experts – Dr. Barry Poulson and Dr. John Merrifield – this project is part of their ongoing educational efforts on fiscal rules, such as Vet Fiscal Rules and their book A Fiscal Cliff: New Perspectives on the U.S. Federal Debt Crisis.
