State leaders must be able to assess whether their decisions will be affordable over the long term or will jeopardize their ability to solve state problems or even sustain programs and services in the future. Unfortunately, the nature of state budget processes discourages such long-term thinking. State policymakers devote much of their time to developing, enacting, and implementing annual or biennial budgets, a prime opportunity to achieve immediate policy goals.
One key strategy for changing this short-term focus is for states to use long-term budget assessments and budget stress tests to regularly measure risks, anticipate potential shortfalls, and identify ways to address impending challenges. Long-term budget assessments project revenue and spending several years into the future, and stress tests estimate the size of temporary budget shortfalls that would result from recessions or other economic events and gauge whether states are prepared for these events.

Comentário do professor
Comentário: A afirmação está errada porque a palavra "jeopardize" significa "comprometer" ou "colocar em risco", enquanto "enhance" significa "melhorar" ou "aumentar". Portanto, os significados são opostos, e o uso de "jeopardize" na frase não pode ser considerado semelhante a "enhance". A frase sugere que as decisões dos formuladores de políticas podem afetar negativamente a capacidade de resolver problemas estaduais, o que está em desacordo com a ideia de melhorar ou aumentar essa capacidade.
