Problem: I would appreciate assistance with the following questions. The highest discretionary spending accounts are from the state of VA
(https://dpb.virginia.gov/budget/buddoc12/index.cfm).
1. Assume that your state is expecting a 25 percent rate increase of its 2011 population based on your previous analyses and forecast.
Give three (3) justifications each for an increase or decrease to the four (4) highest discretionary spending accounts which are:
- Education
- Health & Human Resources
- Transportation
- Public Safety
2. Describe how difficult it was to identify and justify this information, and what you think would make it easier.
