“Whether I say it, Tom Foley says it, my mother says it, a fourth-grader says it, we’re repeating facts from his own Office of Policy and Management,” Cafero told Capitol Watch. “It was his decision, his gamble [on the budget] to go a certain path that hasn’t worked. … It didn’t work. We knew it wouldn’t work. He made a decision to balance this budget on tax increases and phantom savings alone. He did not reduce spending. He increased it. It doesn’t take a math whiz to figure out that doesn’t add up. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize you’re going to have a deficit. We predicted it when he passed the thing.”
“Who’s playing fast and loose with the facts?” Cafero asked. “I’m just going by his figures, his statements. We’re in very bad financial shape. Let’s admit that it hasn’t worked. Stop playing defense, governor, and fix the problem.”
