Illinois faces major budget problems including uncontrolled spending increases, large debts, and the worst funded pension system in the nation. Medicaid costs are rising significantly due to more enrollment and higher costs. The state's business climate and economy have declined, with Illinois now ranking near the bottom nationally in measures like job growth, debt levels, and credit ratings. Proposed solutions include cutting spending, reforming pensions and Medicaid, selling state assets, consolidating offices, and bringing more transparency to spending.

Ralph martire slide show 4 14-11
The document summarizes Illinois' fiscal crisis and the tax increases passed in 2011 to address a large budget deficit. It describes how Illinois has historically relied too heavily on property taxes and lacked a fair tax system. The tax increases were expected to generate $7.3 billion annually but deficits remain due to inadequate revenues and increasing costs for education, healthcare, and human services. Further reforms and revenue options are needed to structurally address Illinois' budget problems.
Facts
The document compares the economic records of Presidents Bush and Obama:
1) Under Bush, unemployment fell and tax revenue increased after he cut taxes, while under Obama unemployment rose after his stimulus package despite higher government spending.
2) Oil prices have risen under Obama as he has reduced offshore drilling and permit approvals, slowing energy independence.
3) Government worker pension funds have invested over $1.5 billion in Bain Capital, benefiting from Romney's economic stewardship, while taxpayers lost billions on Obama's failed company investments.
Economic Recovery Act 3020
The document discusses Congressman Jim Jordan and the Economic Freedom Act, a bill introduced to replace stimulus plans and promote economic recovery through reducing taxes and government spending. The bill would halve the payroll tax for 2010, eliminate the capital gains and death taxes, and lower the corporate tax rate to 12.5% to encourage business growth and job creation. However, the bill currently remains in committee as Democrats are unlikely to allow it to the House floor, but Republicans may support bringing it to a vote if they gain a majority in November. Congressman Tom Rooney also announced his support for the bill, arguing it would help Florida businesses and address the state's high unemployment rates.

This document discusses the fiscal challenges facing Illinois, including large budget deficits, unpaid bills, and underfunded pensions. It analyzes factors like declining tax revenues, high spending growth rates, and the state's debt obligations. Several reform proposals are presented, such as consolidating programs, reducing prison populations, privatizing higher education, and reengineering relationships between state and local governments. Overall, the document examines Illinois' budget shortfalls in detail and offers ideas for cutting costs and improving the state's fiscal situation.

Alison Fraser Presentation on Taxes to the Chicago Committee for Heritage 1/2...The Heritage Foundation
The document discusses federal tax revenues and tax rates if Congress does not act to balance the budget. It shows that if no action is taken, federal tax revenues will increase substantially as a percentage of GDP through 2082 due to an aging population and increasing healthcare costs. It also notes that the top 10% of taxpayers currently pay 71% of all federal income taxes.The Great Rightward Shift: How Conservatism Shifted the Money to the 1%
The document discusses how conservative economic policies since 1980 have contributed to increasing income and wealth inequality in the United States. It notes that the top 1% now receive over 20% of income, versus 10% pre-1980, and own 42% of wealth compared to 24% in the mid-1970s. Conservative policies such as tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the wealthy 1% and weakening of unions have shifted more of the economic gains to the top earners over the past several decades. The rise of conservative media has also encouraged working-class voters to support policies that are not in their own economic interests.

Rtw slide show
The document discusses the growing wage gap and declining unionization rates in the United States from 1947 to present. It outlines national and state level assaults on workers' rights through "right to work" laws and restrictions on collective bargaining. While some anti-union legislation was prevented, other measures like restrictions on teachers and public employees were passed in 2011. The document argues "right to work" laws drive down wages and benefits for all workers.
Principle of Macroeconomics
The document discusses unemployment, defining it as when a person aged 16 or older is actively seeking work but unable to find a job. It notes unemployment is a lagging or leading economic indicator. There are three types of unemployment: frictional from job changes, structural from skills mismatches, and cyclical from recessions. Michigan has high seasonal unemployment due to winter layoffs in some industries. During the 2009 recession, Michigan's unemployment rose to 15.2%, the highest in 25 years, mainly due to declines in the auto and housing industries rather than typical frictional unemployment. The national unemployment peaked at 10% in October 2009. The US recovery since has been slow, partly due to ongoing weakness in housing construction. Current unemployment rates in
California as a Guide to Understanding the New America
California has some of the highest taxes in the nation including income, sales, gas, and property taxes. It also has significant regulations and policies that discourage business growth. As a result, California has experienced high levels of domestic out-migration as residents and businesses leave for other states with lower costs and a more business friendly environment. If current national policies continue to mirror those of California, the US can expect similarly high taxes, reduced business and economic activity, and population declines.
Income and Wealth Inequality in the United States
The document discusses income and wealth inequality in the United States. It notes that income and wealth inequality have steadily worsened since 1980, with the top 1% of income earners receiving about 20% of pre-tax income in 2014 compared to 10% prior to 1980. Wealth is also distributed more unequally than income, with the top 1% owning 42% of wealth versus 24% in the 1970s. The document examines several potential causes of inequality including declines in unions, shifts in tax policy, globalization, and skill-biased technological change. Solutions proposed include policies that make the income or wealth distribution more equitable such as higher taxes on top incomes combined with transfers to lower incomes.
Population Stratification, U.S. 1 C
The document discusses social stratification and systems of stratification including open and closed systems. It provides data on income, wealth, socioeconomic status, prestige ratings for different occupations, poverty rates by race/ethnicity, education levels and age groups. It also discusses the working poor, distributions of household income and rates of health insurance coverage.

The Jobs Crisis and American Democracy
1) Americans are primarily concerned with the economy and job creation over reducing budget deficits.
2) Programs like Social Security, Medicare, education and job training are more popular among voters than cutting spending to reduce deficits.
3) A progressive tax policy that increases taxes on the wealthy is seen as acceptable by many voters.

The document discusses income inequality and the government's role in addressing it. It provides data showing disparities in income distribution in the US and how government taxes and transfers help reduce inequality. It also examines causes of inequality like differences in skills, education and household size, and debates around minimum wage laws and welfare programs.
SEITC_Policy_Brief_021710
This document discusses the economic challenges facing many of West Virginia's working families and proposes establishing a State Earned Income Tax Credit (SEITC) to help address these issues. It notes that over 300,000 residents live below the poverty level, including 87,000 children, and that stagnant wages, rising costs of living, and tax structure have contributed to families' struggles. A SEITC modeled after successful programs in other states could provide additional income to an estimated 90,000 households and promote greater economic security, particularly for those with incomes just above the poverty line.

Post-COVID Economic Challenges: Unemployment, Income inequality, Increasing Inflation, & National Debt.
Paul H Carr summarized a webinar by the following: Eric Rosengren, President and CEO, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston; Wendy Edelberg, Brookings Institution, and Philip Swagel, Director, Congressional Budget Office. Would less inflationary and debt increasing relief act have been better than President Biden’s $1.9 Trillion bill?
The great recession
The Great Recession had widespread negative economic impacts across many sectors. Manufacturing, housing, and construction experienced the largest job losses, with 8 million jobs lost overall. Unemployment rose significantly, disproportionately affecting those with less education. The recession increased economic hardships for many, including higher rates of poverty, food insecurity, and households spending large portions of income on housing. A full recovery will require job creation, restored confidence, retraining workers, and improvements to education to develop skills for available jobs.
Townsend 2015 Intro Tax NL
1) Michigan ranks low (29th and 48th) in measures of tax fairness, with lower-income families and businesses contributing a larger share of taxes compared to other states.
2) Since 1999, Michigan's median household income has fallen $15,633 (24%) after adjusting for inflation, and recent tax reforms have shifted the burden further onto working families and retirees.
3) The document proposes a graduated income tax to make the system more equal by cutting taxes for those earning under $165,000 and raising taxes slightly on the top 1% to fund infrastructure, education, and community services.
Government fiscal update – Canada and Provinces –
- The document summarizes government spending and debt levels in Canada and its provinces as of November 2016. It finds that only three provinces (British Colombia, Quebec, and Nova Scotia) will show surpluses for 2016, while combined federal and provincial deficits total over $41 billion. It also discusses topics like employment, wages, deficits, debt, GDP growth, internal trade barriers between provinces, and the upcoming negotiations on the federal health accord.
Case for More Capitalism
Let's have a discussion about capitalism and socialism. This slideshare makes the case that what we need is more capitalism as it is the system that reduces poverty and actually delivers a better overall quality of life. Yes, there are improvements that can be made, but let's have that discussion before we make revolutionary changes that have not worked well in other places.

Make Or Break Customer Satisfaction
This document discusses limitations of current customer satisfaction models and proposes a new "make or break" model. The current models use linear regression to assign attribute importance weights, but may miss non-compensatory effects where one attribute alone causes (dis)satisfaction. The new model incorporates rewards and penalties based on attributes identified as alone making or breaking the experience. A test study collected customer satisfaction data on mobile phone retailers using the new approach and found it generated attribute weights along with bonuses and penalties that provide additional insights over traditional models.

The document summarizes Illinois' fiscal crisis and the tax increases passed in 2011 to address a large budget deficit. It describes how Illinois had structural deficits due to over-reliance on property taxes and underfunding of services. The tax increases generated $7.3 billion annually but deficits remained over $1 billion due to inadequate revenues and increasing costs of education, healthcare, and human services. Further reforms are needed to generate additional revenue in a fair manner.

Government spends we lose 9.6.10
Government spending has been steadily increasing over the past 40 years, even when adjusted for inflation and population growth. This rising government spending has caused economic growth and standards of living to slow down, with each successive decade seeing smaller gains. If current trends continue, future government spending will dramatically outpace GDP growth and cause the national debt to reach unsustainable levels, potentially limiting prosperity for future generations. Cutting government spending is necessary to increase economic growth and standards of living going forward.
Fiscal Policy Paper
This document discusses how the US federal budget deficit and national debt affect different individuals and institutions. It states that taxpayers, future Social Security and Medicaid recipients, unemployed individuals, and University of Phoenix students are all impacted by fiscal policy. The effects on these groups in terms of things like income-based student loan repayment options and changes to federal grant programs are briefly outlined. The document also mentions exploring impacts on the US's international financial reputation, exports and imports, and GDP.
Ashley dsol
The document discusses the growing problem of government debt in the United States. It notes that the annual deficit has grown substantially in recent years, reaching over $1 trillion in 2010 and 2011. This level of deficit requires significant government borrowing each year. The total national debt held by the public is over $10 trillion. Cutting spending, raising taxes, and economic growth are the three main strategies proposed to address the debt, but each faces challenges.

Fund Our Future Tax The Rich Invest In Our New York
This document proposes six bills as part of the "Invest in Our NY Act" to raise $51-75 billion annually. The bills would: 1) Create a progressive income tax system; 2) Tax investment income the same as wages; 3) Create an inheritance tax; 4) Tax billionaire fortunes and amend the constitution to allow a wealth tax; 5) Create a tax on financial transactions; 6) Offset corporate tax cuts from Trump. The proposals are aimed at taxing the wealthy and large corporations to generate revenue to invest in New York's economy and support services.
Losing liberty
This document summarizes a presentation criticizing Obamacare and government overreach. It argues that Americans did not want Obamacare, it will increase costs and debt, and over half of Americans want to repeal it. Statistics are presented showing high levels of debt, many Americans relying on federal benefits, and a declining workforce participation rate, suggesting the current economic situation does not support expanding programs like Obamacare.
Chapter 2
1. The document discusses corporate and individual income taxes in the United States, including tax rates, tax brackets, and the debate around taxing the wealthy.
2. It provides examples of tax rates and calculations for various investments, bonds, and dividends.
3. The debate around increasing taxes on the top 1% is examined, with arguments on both sides discussed around whether the wealthy pay their fair share or should contribute more in taxes.
Update on the Illinois and MSA Economies and the Housing Market
IAR Public Policy Meetings, January 26, 2011.

Рейтинг вільних економік світу за 2016 рік
The document summarizes key points from a report on declining economic freedom in the United States. It finds that the U.S. has fallen out of the top 10 in economic freedom rankings due to rising government spending and debt, increased regulations, and a growing perception of cronyism. Specifically, it notes increases in government spending, high corporate tax rates, excessive regulations, a complex tax code, and experimental monetary policy as areas negatively impacting the U.S. economic freedom score. The report argues that restoring economic freedom through reduced government intervention and spending is needed to boost economic growth and opportunity.
Tax Rates for the Ultra Rich
Even staunch Republicans were shocked recently when ProPublica published secret IRS files showing that the richest Americans routinely pay a small fraction of their income in income taxes and in some years pay no taxes at all. Our concern is how efforts to regulate tax rates for the ultra rich will affect taxes on the average American taxpayer.

PEST Analysis of USA
The United States has the largest economy in the world, though it saw slowed growth after events like 9/11 and the recession in 2009. However, the economy has since strengthened due to increased business and consumer spending and lower unemployment. Politically, the U.S. has the oldest democracy with a federal system and three branches of government. It also has a progressive tax system and strong labor laws. Socio-culturally, an aging population and illegal immigration are concerns, though education and healthcare are highly developed. Technologically, the U.S. leads in research and development spending and innovation.
Illinois - The State of Our State
This document discusses the fiscal challenges facing Illinois, including large budget deficits, unpaid bills, and growing pension obligations. It analyzes revenues and spending trends, proposing tax increases and cuts to programs like Medicaid, education, pensions, and local government funding. The presentation argues for restructuring government services through consolidation, privatization, and reducing prison and institutional populations. Overall, the document examines Illinois' budget crisis and offers recommendations to close budget gaps and reform spending.
