US State & Local Tax Receipts - Bailouts Reqd (Patreon)
Content
I spoke of CA in early 2022, there would be no tax receipts. Well here are the receipts. Not Just California however.... so who is going to bail out all these state and local govts?
Where has all the money gone? State and local governments in the United States just experienced the worst decline in income tax revenue ever recorded. This was the second-steepest year-over-year percentage decline in history, with only the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) having a worse outcome.
Federal tax receipts have also dropped again, now reaching recessionary levels and approaching -10% on a year-over-year basis.
This is a clear indication of the continued fundamental deterioration of the economy. This sharp contrast with the overall financial assets that remain at excessively inflated valuations is concerning.
