Over the last two budget cycles, every state except North Dakota has had to close a budget gap. But a handful of states stand out for the depth of their fiscal problems. For 2010, seven states had budget gaps totaling more than 25% of general fund spending, as measured by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Of these, six have a clear story about how they ended up in such a mess.

Rock Island County.
I lived in Chicago from 1997-1999 when I was in Grad school at the U of C in Hyde Park. Still have friends in Chicago, Naperville, and Deerfield.
Illegal of course, they would have to be. I have been watching the war between black gangs and hispanic gangs, a war that reflects a mutual hostility between the two ethnicities from prison to neighborhoods.
I think that Obama conned a lot of hispanics (among others).
The Kane County (IL) Tea Party Patriots Group wants to make sure that you are aware of a special event/protest that is occurring tonight in Batavia (IL). We know that this is very short notice, but Congressman Foster has indicated that he will vote in favor of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid healthcare takeover and your voice needs to be heard by Foster as well as our local media.
Who: Americans for Prosperity and Kane County Tea Party Patriots Group
What: Protest/Candlelight Vigil
When: Tuesday, March 16, 2010
5:30-6:15pm - Honk No Protest
6:15-7:30pm – Candlelight Vigil (Special guest speakers TBD)
Where: Congressman Bill Foster’s District office - 27 North River Street, Batavia, IL 60510
Who is running against Foster this fall?
State Senator Randy Hultgren, a conservative, is running against Foster.
How does the race look so far? He sounds like a very good candidate.
Hultgren beat Hastert’s son Ethan in the primary. Believe me, the Hastert name stills carries sway in the 14th. So, that was a big win.
The Kane County and Kendall County Republican Party feels good about Hultgren winning, but I have not seen any polls to support that notion.
They export pansies?
Iowa, hey at least we not Illinois is the joke.
At least, not until they go belly up and need a federal bailout... Or some scumbag communist president hands them billions of federal taxpayer dollars to prop up their decadent government pensions and calls it "stimulus" money.
Yep, if you look at the most corrupt states with the biggest financial problems (New York, California, Illinois), they're usually the "blue" states with the biggest Democrat parasite nests ("cities").
When will some pundit start calling socialism by its more accurate term “parasitism”... and socialists as the parasites they are.. Capitalism creates new wealth, socialism uses that wealth up.. the wealth of its capitalistic host or hosts..
