Colorado's Budget Crisis: Democrat Spending Spree Exposed!

The post by @schotts on August 6, 2025, critically examines Colorado's $1.0 billion budget shortfall, attributing it to years of reckless spending under Democratic control rather than external factors like Trump or TABOR. The author highlights a 50% budget increase from $30 billion in 2018 to $44 billion in 2025, with General Fund spending rising 44% from $11.1 billion to $16.0 billion, far exceeding inflation or population growth. Key issues include unsustainable Medicaid expansion (now covering nearly 1 in 3 Coloradans), bloated programs, and progressive policies driving the highest inflation in the U.S. from 2020-2024. The post argues this reflects a deliberate strategy to create government dependency, dismissing Democratic finger-pointing as a cover for fiscal irresponsibility. Supporting images show Colorado's party control since 1992 and state inflation rankings.
