Quote
AUSTIN — Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced Monday the state will end its current budget with a surplus of $23.8 billion. 
It's not as high as the record $32.7 billion the state had two years ago, but lawmakers will still have a lot to consider as they develop the next two-year budget. That's separate from what's called the state's rainy-day fund, which is projected to have $28.5 billion by the end of the next two-year budget in August 2027. 
In all, lawmakers will have nearly $195 billion dollars in state revenues to spend in the next two-year budget. Over the next 140 days, lawmakers will have to develop and approve their spending blueprint

I love the fact that the state legislature only meets every other year for 120 days, except if the Gov calls a special session.  And I love the fact that they *have* to pass a balanced budget.

I like a balanced budget.  But there is no such thing as a government "budget surplus."  That means they've stolen my money.  And I want it back.

That's what happens here. We get it back in the form of tax relief.

Drop in the bucket, sadly.  Not even 10% of our national debt service.

not a good reason not to do it

9% less is a start, just need another 10 or 12 years

If you wanted to save money, you’d be best off chucking a bunch of the south.

In the other hand, I’m told the folks set to run the federal government are both debt hawks and set to supercharge the economy, so we should see some progress in the next 2-4 years.
