Governor Polis and the gang are foaming at the mouth for a good ol’ fashioned Special Legislative Session, because apparently screwing things up during normal business hours just isn’t enough. At the heart of the drama? A budget nightmare they created—and now, somehow, it’s our problem to fund the cleanup.
The Bullet Point Brief
- Colorado lawmakers are considering a “special session” to deal with what they perceive as “fallout” from the passage of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. There is no fallout; there may just be less money. And when you receive less money, you cut programs. That simple.
- Year after year of government expansion under Polis is finally catching up… to your wallet.
- They’re limping into next year’s budget already $700 million in the red—surprise!
- A Special Session is political theater, featuring fake urgency and real taxpayer consequences.
- Limiting these bureaucrats to five bills per session wasn’t enough to contain their hunger for control—or spending.
My Bottom Line
Oh look—a budget crisis! How unexpected… if you’ve been in a coma since 2019. Governor Polis and his progressive puppeteers have been running a nonstop binge-fest on taxpayer dollars, and now that reality has clocked them across the face with a $1.2 billion shortfall in the recently passed budget, they’re scrambling for duct tape in the form of a Special Session. It’s like watching arsonists try to put out their own fire with gasoline and a PowerPoint presentation.
Let me translate this legislative circus for you: They overspent (again), overpromised (as always), and now need an emergency huddle because their woke budgeting strategy finally tripped over its own math. This isn’t about fixing anything—it’s about scrambling to figure out who to squeeze next financially while putting on some good drama for media outlets who’ll eat it up like breakfast tacos at a campaign stop. And every time Polis blinks at the word “freedom,” someone else gets taxed.
Hold on tight, Weld County—and check your couch cushions—because when Democrats call an emergency meeting, you better believe they’re seconds from reaching into your back pocket under the guise of “stability.” Want less economic chaos? Start by requiring our leaders to pass Budget Math 101 before authoring six-digit spending bills that sound like they came from Karl Marx’s dream journal.
