8. Why Can the Government Afford This?

9. US Budget Outlook Republicans and Democrats will continue to make last minute compromises. Spending is starting to increase again ($65 billion this year). Sequester was working, so it is over. Democrats will push for more tax revenues, but probably won’t get much if any. We will continue with deficits that are 2-3 times what used to be the historical record.

13. Obamacare Problems Still Developing Website still cannot communicate well with insurance companies. Website security still lacking. Insurance Bailout looms if the sign-ups are too old & sick. People are starting to discover issues with doctors, co-pays, etc. This will still be problem for Democrats for at least this year. Key next problem: what happens when people are asked to pay their high deductibles and co-pays (or even their premiums).

14. Georgia Budget Outlook Revenues for FY14 are +5.0% so far for FY14, exceeding the 4.6% needed for budget. February was up 5.3% with (sales + car title) taxes leading the way (+6.5%). UGA looks to have gains in budgeted funds, a plus strong capital budget, working now on raise pool.

15. Georgia Economic Outlook Georgia appears to be finally growing faster than the US average again (after 5 years of slower growth). Georgia economy should grow at 3+% in 2014 Personal and disposable income are both growing, so consumer spending should increase in the 3-4% range Georgia is continuing to outperform right now at landing big new job gains (Engineered Floors, State Farm, GM, AT&T, Toyo, Hostess Brands, Tyson Foods).
