Numbers suggest Beshear expects GOP to fold
I wish I had thought of this one, but credit goes to Andy Hightower at the Kentucky Club for Growth for adding up the numbers and finding the hole in Gov. Steve Beshear's fiscal plan:
"... he's either expecting to raise taxes, or not expecting the $456 million shortfall to materialize."
Read the rest of Andy's post here.
Just plug in your efficiency study, Governor, and everything will be fine. The Senate Republicans have little reason to cut their own throats just to bail you out. In fact, many of the House Democrats don't either.

He is a demonrat. Of course he is planning on raising taxes. Right up there on the mantle of liberalism along with the murder they call choice, and we all know as abortion, is raising taxes.
It is like peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, meat and potatoes - liberals and raising taxes.
New math?
The point here for GED level policy wonks??
There are two points. First, Beshear needs to explain why he isn't proposing spending cuts that are deep enough to cover the projected shortfall. And second, he needs to explain why he thinks the General Assembly will go along with tax increases when the economy can least afford them.
