Damn shame.

Look at a Life Magazine re 1955 or so and long for that country.

These state governments have been living on borrowed time. They have sucked up tax revenues and used them to fund items completely unrelated to government, like funding for clinics in low-income areas and crap. Money on “social services” stuff.

The glorius Peoples Republic of Rhode Island is fallen on hard times. Too much government for a small state.

The bigger story (that won’t get reported) is that barely anyone will notice the shut down.

Any ideas just why Rhode Island is worse off than other states? I mean I can understand Michigan and CA, but Rhode Island?

I’m laughing at all of these liberal states having their budget problems first.

common sense tells me that they should trim the fat before the start closing down for days and weeks.

It’s a year away and will be scrapped by then.

But I don’t understand. Isn’t the recession over? Everything is supposed to be wonderful now.

Sometime in the 1970’s Rhode Island had a budget problem and the state highways were horrible. I recall a vacation where we drove through the state and my dad was dodging potholes on the turnpike.

No fair! If anybody deserves to have its government shut down it's us Californians.

Check out the proper use and spelling of "its" and "it's". Thank you. Thank you very much.

This is such a knee slapping joke. Over the next 3 years we will witness massive government layoffs and huge salary reductions. States can’t print money. It is over but they are in denial. There is now a revolution and it will not be pretty.

You know there has been this crazy rumor that Citizen Palin would relocate to Rhode Island........maybe she should, just to save their economy and then leave......maybe that’s her calling in the short term......move to an ailing state, help generate commerce and revenue, then move onto the next ailing state......

Good news. Now they should do that in every state and make it 120 days instead of just 12. It would improve everyone’s life....except the parasite functionaries and bureaucrats.

Now that’s an idea I could get behind for all levels of government.
