Thoughts?
Nebraska is nearly bankrupt.
In just four years, the state managed to:
- Turn a $1.9 BILLION surplus into a $1 BILLION shortfall
- Spend $1 BILLION on an Education Future Fund that will be insolvent by 2027
- Quadruple state spending growth
Here's what makes it a crisis: there are no lifeboats left.
Nebraska’s cash reserves- the emergency funds meant to stabilize us during downturns- have been raided repeatedly over the last three years to hide runaway spending.
While every other red state is cutting taxes and building surpluses, Nebraska families are stuck with one of the highest tax burdens in America. Property taxes, income taxes, and sales taxes are all above national averages.
We absolutely cannot tax our way out of a crisis this deep.
Nebraska is nearly bankrupt. This is not a one-off, it's a structural deficit. Taxes won't be able to make up the difference. There are no cash reserves left to bail us out.
Make no mistake: this is a crisis.
