The recent devolution to the states of responsibilities previously
held by the federal government -- a key goal of the
deficit-reduction, smaller-government agenda of the 1990s -- has
far-reaching implications for state budgets. At the moment, a
strong economy has put most states into a strong enough fiscal
condition to shoulder such burdens as welfare reform and public
investment. But beneath the current surpluses are structural
problems that are unlikely to withstand the next economic downturn;
as a result, any essential public needs will be left unmet. This
book deal with three major areas of concern: first, the effect of
moving large numbers of welfare recipients into labor markets;
second, the planned federal reforms in the health care field that
will shift costs to the state and local sector; and third, trends
in federal aid. A basic finding of these essays is that state
economies can accommodate these challenges generally speaking, but
the effect of recent welfare reform presents a problem too
long-range to be adequately assessed in the near-term.
