The unemployment rate might have ticked down, but everything else is still the same.

Wrong. This is outdated. We have a rainy day fund of $5B.

Oooh. Big bucks. The most recent PA budget was $44 billion, and the Legislature and the governor continue to lower the corporate tax rate. We'll blow through that $5 billion pretty quickly.
Now do pensions. And no, Act 5 0f 2017 isn't pension reform; it's just more screwing over of the young.

Lol "I've been called on my bullshit so I'm just gonna move the goalposts." Love it.
Pensions? Ok, how about how Governor Shapiro wants to dramatically cut costs by switching from expensive money managers to high performing index funds?
Oh wait, I forgot he's a Democrat and they can't do anything right, according to you.
But hey, I'm sure a genius like you has a bunch of great solutions to honor people's pension obligations that they worked for as the population ages and the state has to pay out, so I'm all ears!

Pay attention: I'm a former Democrat who worked for Democrats in the State House.
They're garbage.
And it's definitely a mystery as to how the Legislature & governor are going to wring additional taxes out of people working low wage jobs (PA's minimum wage is STILL $7.25/hr), struggling to breathe where air quality is horrible, and are FREE caregivers to their elderly relatives.
I won't be here, so they won't get any money out of me.

I anticipate I won't be the only one in the outflow from Pennsylvania.

Outflow (among sewer operators) = shit from the cesspool.

"I'm a former Democrat" who probably lost an election and is now lashing out in anger. Or, more likely, a member of the GQP party who has a problem telling the truth.

Yeah let's blame the Dems for the minimum wage is brain dead.

I've heard that bill will be filed, and it will come out of committee for full house vote this session. Will be interesting to see what Senate does then.
