And of course the solution won’t be to cut spending, it will be to raise taxes more.

TAIWWOAT: This article is worthless without a table (or at least a link to one.)

Why didn’t they give us the information by state?

” ..said Wilbur Maki, a professor emeritus in the Department of Applied Economics at the University of Minnesota who served as state economist in the early 1980s..”

This learned opinion is from a distinguished speaker from the state which just sent Al Franken/Stuart Smalley to represent their state as a U.S. Senator! Please put that opinion where the sun never shines.

Underestimating revenues only exists in family households of conservative Americans. Government spending always overestimates tax revenues with increased taxes a foregone conclusion.

In Oregon, where personal income tax collections were preliminarily down 15 percent from projections for 2009, the recently adjourned legislature approved a two-year budget dependent upon $733 million in tax increases to avoid cuts to schools and other state services. Anti-tax activists and business groups are planning a petition drive to put the tax hikes to a vote of the people.

Good for Oregon...

These bloated big government socialist parasites won't stop until they take everything you own.

Let’s make that 50 states. Stop buying anything that you don’t need for a few years. Get more self-sufficient. Let’s learn to do some real work again. We’ll be better off after the defaults.

Here’s an idea...keep raising taxes. Be sure to take even more money from those who produce it. That’s the ticket. That’ll work for sure.

Idiots.
