That’s a quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes, but it is definitely not something Pennsylvania Republican legislators believe. They propose to make up the looming state deficit by raising the tax on cigarettes by a dollar a pack and increasing the take from gambling. They also plan some one-time borrowing and some deliberate underfunding of programs, which will lead to cost overruns.
People like Rep. Heffley brag about how fiscally responsible Republicans are. No, actually, they are not.
