Although I live there I have no sympathy for the state whatsoever. The state has been spending like a drunken sailor for decades now. But it’s time to pay the piper and their broke. It was bound to happen given the state’s continuous spending binge. When will they ever learn. First it was the anti business atmosphere the state engendered which loaded down the business community with choking regulations and stiff taxation for lawmakers pork. So the businesses packed up in droves and left the state to find other states with a more friendly business atmosphere, less taxes and fewer regulations to abide by. What is so hard to understand about that? It only shows that politicians do not live in the real world. Such politicians should have their salaries cut back drastically and their benefits as well so that they would come to know how it feels to live in the real world and not the rarified elite atmosphere they are used to. Remember what happened to another politician who told their citizenry “let them eat cake” when told the people had no bread.
I am a drunken sailor. I never spent that much.

Like you, the rest of us that have a brain “get it”. The RATS don’t and don’t want to. It’s all about power. Nothing else.
