Are you trying to say the gold standard creates a system where inflation is impossible?


No. But there's a more honest accounting of it.

Hey idiot, you missed my edit.

Edit: holy shit are you trying to say that Medicaid, a federal program, should be added to the state's liabilities? Oh brother, you are looking at total spending and disregarding reality. You won't find a single conservative state with a budget surplus if you try to apply this logic, either. Texas, for example, comes in with $52 billion in revenue and $119 billion in government spending if you apply your faulty system of understanding.

Medicaid is a federal-state partnership. States contribute matching funds. You know this too.

He pulled them out of his magic hat, obviously, because I didn't see a source anywhere.

Literally the state budget and budget surplus numbers from the SOS.

Surplus means positive. Learn to math.
