Since credit is being cut off and interest are being raised by the bailed out bankers, our credit dependent consumer economy collapsing all around us. Since the consumer is the primary driver of our economy, by cutting off the consumer to credit and income, savings are being depleted. Our nation is shutting down as revenues and tax receipts contract at a pace NEVER before seen in our nation's history.
When few are making money....few are paying taxes.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma financial officials ordered Tuesday another 5 percent across-the-board cut in budget allocations to state agencies after state Treasurer Scott Meacham said tax revenue fell by more than 31 percent in August -- the eighth consecutive monthly decline in collections.
Preliminary reports show General Revenue Fund collections last month totaled $335.2 million. That is $154.9 million, or 31.6 percent, below collections in August 2008 and $131.3 million, or 28.2 percent, below the estimate.
For the first two months of the fiscal year, collections total $672 million, Meacham said. That is $275.3 million, or 29.1 percent, below the prior year and $209.7 million, or 23.8 percent, below the estimate.
THE TREND IS GETTING WORSE!!!!
Despite collapsing revenues, evaporating profits, massive losses....the stock market is manging to rise. The problem now is when workers get fired, very few are getting hired. The American infastructure is not geared to an economic based with declining wages and high unemployment and a low consumption population.
We have lots of real estate, high taxes, high health care costs....all of this needs lots of revenues to function.....and revenues are evaporating...VERY QUICKLY NOW... as few are getting hired. Our entire economic system is in jeopordy of collapsing unless we restructure soon.
