In this episode, host Michael dives into Colorado's budget crisis, revealing a staggering $1.5 billion deficit. He discusses how the state's nonpartisan Joint Budget Committee staff director, Craig Harper, describes the trend of annual shortfalls as "alarming." Michael argues that the structural deficit is a result of deliberate choices made by Democrats, particularly the expansion of Medicaid and other programs. He also touches on the role of one-time COVID-19 funds and the Democrats' attempts to blame TABOR, the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, for the state's financial woes.
