New fiscal dashboard proposed by NPI and Senator Kuderer goes live for Washingtonians

Prepared by the Legislative Evaluation and Accountability Program (LEAP) and the Office of Financial Management (OFM), the Budgeting for Washington's Future fiscal dashboard provides useful, truthful, and accurate information about state revenue and expenditures, as required by the legislation we created to get rid of Tim Eyman's push polls.

Les enjeux fiscaux du #numérique au #Liban
Par Karim DAHER
Dans un contexte aussi particulier que celui que traverse actuellement le pays du Cèdre, où l’élargissement de la base d’imposition se mue en priorité nationale et même internationale, il est donc particulièrement opportun de se poser la question suivante : le développement du numérique au Liban est en lui-même un outil d’inclusion ou d’exclusion fiscale ?

Austerity is not a popular position. The Tories themselves abandoned it and won the 2019 election with a promise to level up. Yet Starmer claims Labour, currently enjoying a roughly twenty point lead, can't win without adopting it. Of course he's doing this because of that poll lead

House Republicans seek billions in cuts to rail, water infrastructure spending

Ultra MAGA lackeys of Donald Trump who currently control the United States House of Representatives want to force the Senate and the Biden administration to reverse the investments made to Amtrak and clean drinking water infrastructure as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which is unacceptable to Democrats.

I zapped the bar code with my Zoe App https://joinzoe.com/ and its rating for me (people with better glucose clearance would do a bit better) was extremely poor 13/100. It would save #NHS billions if #thefoodindustry were prevented from peddling such dishonest messaging! Would Starmer’s @UKLabour do anything about it? Don’t hold your breath even though it would be a sign they really understood their beloved #fiscalresponsibility

"Fiscal Credibility" the new Labour word for "austerity". Even the Tories have admitted that austerity wasn't necessary, but no one told Rachel Reeves.

Has she never heard of Modern Monetary Theory?

Does she still think that taxes pay for public spending?

Is she economically illiterate or just dishonest?

U.S. House votes to raise debt ceiling, impose Republican-demanded austerity measures

By a vote of 314-117, the House adopted the so-called Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, which "increases the federal debt limit, establishes new discretionary spending limits, rescinds unobligated funds, and expands work requirements for federal programs," as summarized by Congress' official legislative website.

Economic growth and job creation accelerated in Spain in 1Q2023.

This positive scenario, combined with #FiscalResponsibility, will allow us to reach the 3% deficit-to-GDP target in 2024, one year ahead of schedule.

This is the safest strategy to ensure #sustainablegrowth.
