[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a Senate bill: https://www.13newsnow.com/article/money/virginia-food-tax-repeal-youngkin-general-assembly/291-7ebe22c9-3015-4e19-a024-7f389fd7a716 [/quote]

It is hilarious to me (and yet so typical) that the Republican who introduced the legislation is refusing to make a proposal to offset the lost revenue, notwithstanding the balanced budget requirement.[/quote]

Virginia has a budget surplus.[/quote]

Your point being?  Do you understand how a balanced budget works?[/quote]

I suppose the question is, do you? If there is a budget surplus, that money came from somewhere. Virginia didn't just press print on the 'ole money printer.[/quote]
So if you win $100 on a lotto ticket one week, do you redo your household budget based on the assumption you will continue to win $100 every week?  Because that’s basically how you’re saying the state government should approach balancing the budget.  That’s not how it works.[/quote]
