Bruan’s race to bottom in full effect.
So we’re approaching a full steam ahead self induced US recession (at best) and the state wants to both cut taxes AND reduce already paltry public services to literally everything with artificial austerity….. coupling it with no investments to our future with education, infrastructure,or ANY sort of clear goal aside from slowly deteriorate further? What metrics DOES Indiana exceed nationally? Why would an employer WANT to move here or anyone in general? What do we do well at this point???? There are plenty of low cost states with BETTER educated populations weather and amenities to offer and Indiana has…….what? I’m genuinely curious about their master plan or goals aside from a Diet Kansas or Temu Texas. From where I stand out one party rule experiment is failing…… quickly. I know I’m not alone in this observation.
I can feel those low taxes trickling down now….
Are we winning yet?
It is so easy to spend other people’s money. Good for Indiana to reign in the bloated government spending from time to time. When you have limited assets your priorities match your values as to what is most important. DOGE highlighted this very clearly with the federal government’s funding of hundreds/thousands of BS projects/programs costing hundreds of BILLIONS. And here in Indiana the whole annual budget for Ivy Tech is only $250 million.
And as a past ITCC employee I can confirm that a lot was being spent on garbage. Glad they are trimming fat.
