Just list this as another in a long list of reasons why I am so very, very grateful that I was able to escape from that state!
Don't be so kind to him. That son of a bitch lost $18 billion dollars in one year! From a $4B surplus to a $14B deficit! We're in the hole for 20% of the state budget! He and the rest of the rats need to go, pronto! There is no way to grow ourselves out of this mess, it will take more than a decade just to grow through inflation, assuming that the state budget doesn't grow any further. The rats are going to tax us to death (already they have raised sales taxes .25%, want to raise car registration taxes as well, and hope that the minimum wage hike will help fill up the coffers) and as we all know, tax increases is only going to cause diminishing returns that will leave fewer dollars left to invest in the economy.
