3. Slide Sequence:
Slides 4, 5 and 6 profile key underlying demographic and economic factors over recent years. Note the annual rates or
growth are all 3 percent or less except for the Medicaid Cost Shift, which is a back door shift of costs associated with
Medicaid onto hospitals and private health insurance policies.
Slide 7 profiles state budget spending from 2010 to 2015 and does not include any changes to the budget for 2015 as the
annual budget adjustment has not passed the legislature. Note the very high annual rates of growth and the total growth
over this 5 year period and how these rates of growth far exceed the underlying rates of economic and demographic profiled
in slides 3, 4, and 5.
Slide 8 profiles how much less ($254 million) state government would be spending in budget growth had been 3 percent per
year versus the 5.45 percent growth that actually occurred. At the more modest growth rate of 3 percent, there would be no
budget deficit.
Slide 9 profiles the incomes and income tax burdens of the top 1 percent and 10 percent of Vermont income tax filers
Slide 10 profiles the top-side strategic choices available to remedy the fiscal imbalance profiled above. Campaign for
Vermont recommends option 3 or a version thereof.
