(Q001) Texаs stаte gоvernment must pаss a balanced budget every twо years. Sоmetimes, legislators confront a budgetary deficit when projected expenditures exceed projected revenues. At other times, they face a budgetary surplus when projected revenues exceed projected expenditures. Debating what to do when facing a budgetary surplus tells us much about the choices politicians and special interests face in the politics of the budget.In the 2015 legislative session, state lawmakers faced a budget surplus. Previous comptroller Susan Combs had underestimated the revenues flowing into state coffers for the 2014-15 biennium by $11.3 billion, the worst estimate in 40 years of budgeting. The budgetary windfall led to a lively debate about what to do with the surplus funds. On the one hand, some policy makers, such as Chuck DeVore of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a conservative think tank in the state, argued that the surplus meant that Texas taxpayers had overpaid the state and should receive refunds. On the other hand, Dick Lavine and Eva DeLuna Castro of the Center for Public Policy Priorities, a progressive think tank in Austin, argued that cuts to education and health care from the last session should be restored so that the state could better prepare for an uncertain economic future. DeVore countered that education money is spent not on the classroom but on bureaucratic overhead, and he pointed to the fact that the student-teacher ratio in Texas is better than the national average. He also contended that as the legislature spends more on new programs, a sense of entitlement would develop, making it difficult to make cuts later during times of economic difficulty. Lavine and Castro, in turn, responded that Texas was simply not spending enough in real dollars, given the state's rapid growth. With new residents on highways, in classrooms, and in hospitals, the state would need to maintain these public goods for future generations. Spending the same amount of money as when the state's population was smaller, they argued, would not lead to a prosperous state.After considerable wrangling over the best level of funding for existing programs, the legislature passed a two-year budget that represented a 3.6 percent increase from the previous budget. Funding increased for education and border security. The final budget left a surplus of $6.4 billion and did not touch the estimated $11 billion in the Rainy Day Fund. Most importantly for conservative Republicans, property and franchise taxes were cut by $3.8 billion.How should policy makers deal with a projected budgetary surplus? Should taxes be cut or spending increased? If the latter, where should it be increased first?
