What, you don’t think it’s a good idea to keep some money in the bank to deal with unexpected expenses? I’d rather we do that, than have to go borrow money, or raise taxes.

If it were me, my money and a bank, of course I would see ti that way. But in this case it is a government body, my money and they are taking more than they need. If the state comes across unexpected expenses they can always raise my taxes or even ask for donations, I don't see why they get to keep my money, returning no interest (as a bank would) and I don't get a say in the matter. It just does not seem right.

Like I said, I'm happy that Indiana is done well (I live here, but still unemployed) things seem to be looking up a bit. I would rather hang on to my money than have someone else look after it, I know I'm responsible, I can only hope that they are.
