Plain & True Talk about politicians and huge budget deficits.

Plain and True talk about huge budget deficits at both the state and federal level:

Ralph Martire, head of Illinois' liberal-leaning Center for Tax and Budget Accountability,” stated

“Politicians promise more services but won't raise taxes to pay for them, Martire said. They depend on budget games and shortcuts instead and wind up blowing holes in the budget. Voters then get used to the idea that they can have services without any pain, and they reject politicians who say otherwise.

"That's nonsense, but they believe it because that's the track record. Eventually, you run out of those games you can play," Martire said.”
