Six Charts That Explain Washington's Budget Problem

About this episode

Washington Policy Center's Ryan Frost presents six charts showing state spending grew 148% from 2013 to 2025, far outpacing 112% revenue growth. Even with billions in new taxes, the gap persists, and a roughly $7 billion shortfall could emerge by 2027. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-six-charts-that-explain-washingtons-budget-problem/ #WashingtonState #StateBudget #TaxPolicy #WashingtonPolicyCenter #FiscalPolicy #Opinion #ClarkCounty #Politics #StateSpending #BudgetShortfall
