When the levee breaks… you don’t ignore the cracks.

In Episode 25 of Deciding Iowa, we break down a state budget that:
➡️ Spends ~$9.6 billion
➡️ Brings in closer to ~$8.5 billion
➡️ And keeps us on track for a third straight year of ~$1 billion deficits

🎸 “If it keeps on rainin’, levee’s goin’ to break…” from When the Levee Breaks

That’s not just a lyric, it’s a warning.

Leaders are calling this budget “responsible” and “sustainable”…
…but it relies on surplus funds that won’t last.

At some point, the math catches up.
At some point, the pressure builds.
At some point… the levee breaks.

Because budgets aren’t just numbers…
they’re choices about the future of Iowa.
