And to think we were running a surplus recently here in GA. Gee, maybe they will have to close some useless jobs programs.
Funny, they are finally thinking about removing the ban on Sunday liquor sales here. Not because of freedom, just $$$$$$$$$$$. Hypocrites.
With these kinds of bugetary problems across most of the US, there is no doubt that the US is bankrupt - both fiscally and morally.
We keep electing people who promise us nirvana, but take us deeper into a black hole.
Without any fiscal responsibility/accountability and control at the state level, is it any wonder that our national government is bankrupting us as fast as it can??
Our government is irrevocably broken at ALL levels - national, state and local. The question is: how much more do we tolerate before we decide that enough is enough?? How much longer before we take back control of our government??
We’re already bankrupt as a nation. Fiscally, our government has reached rock bottom and Obama is starting to dig.
I’ve got to question the source of your information. The Indiana budget, as proposed by the Governor is balanced.
“We will need to cut back as a nation.”
Now THAT’S going to be fun, fun, fun! Of course, I’ve been living that way for decades, but I’m going to enjoy watching what happens in the next few years.
Those of us that know how to cook from scratch, bake bread, sew on a button and raise our own foodstuffs are going to be ‘The New Elite.’ :)
California is going to be so freaking screwed when this next wave of housing loans begins to be recast.

Memphis, TN, sales tax is 9.25%. Also, just over the big river into Arkansas the sales tax is exactly the same in one nearby city, West Memphis, AR. And that small town is having budget problems already. Plus, the unemployment figure there is around 8% now.
High sales taxes are no fun.
All of the states [public labor-unions] are standing around, waiting for Jan 20th - for Zero to be sworn in, and then offer Federal bailouts.
Who do they think will PAY for this?: The same local taxpayers in our States who are broke, and said NO (to the State Govts), the first time.
Amazing...
