Arizona, which is more purple than red these days, is in almost as bad shape. Too many years of Gov. Janet and an influx of Californians and Micheganers have inflated the government entitlements and stripped away one billion in extra cash we had just four years ago. Not just Liberal states. Beware red states, Arizona could happen to you, too.
Cutting down the R.I. pay offs and corruption using tax $$$ would solve the budget problems, but that will not happen.
RI ought to petition to join MA and we could return to 49 states. MA would straighten out little Rhody, and that way Patrick Kennedy could take the Senate seat.
For the most part, red states are in better shape financially.
