TEN YEARS AGO
MARCH 3, 2011 – Several Soldiers Grove area residents recently enjoyed a get together at the Elling and Joan Davig winter home in Florence, Arizona. The group is pictured and included Joan Davig, Jeanette Montgomery, Patty Schoville, Joan Everson, Phyllis Benson, Bud Everson, Doug Montgomery, Roger Turnmire, Richard Schoville, Elling Davig, Jim Benson and Lorraine Davig… About 375 high school students from nine schools will participate in “Reality Daze” at Western Technical College, Viroqua Campus.

I have written about Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS-s) in the past. But given the Union Budget and 15th Finance Commission’s report, the point is worth pursuing.

We will soon have the Union Budget for 2021-22. Apart from policy announcements made, the Budget is about the Union government’s annual statement of receipts and expenditure. Receipts can be non-tax or tax. Most people want the Centre to spend. Indeed, as economists argue, multiplier benefits of government expenditure exceed those of tax reductions. That is, if there is going to be an expansionary fiscal policy, that is better accomplished by increasing government expenditure, not reducing taxes.
Of course, to increase government expenditure, one needs to find resources without imposing costs on the future. Nor does government expenditure only occur at the Union government level. Since the bulk of public expenditure occurs at state government level and since most public goods are delivered by local bodies, I am surprised that more attention is not paid to state government Budgets and recommendations of state Finance Commissions.
