Departments have been putting workers on furlough and cutting services

Arizona? Oklahoma?

Hmmm

Hey now, The Age of Obama is hard on all 57 states.

Wealth redistribution (ie: looting state and federal coffers) and destroying nations doesn’t come cheap.

And Congress has just dropped their “Christmas present” on these states which is going make things even worse. That is, every state except Nebraska. They took a sweetheart deal to get this commie beast through Dingy Reid’s “senate.” The rest of the country will be paying their portion.

Why don’t they just ask the federal government for more free stuff to make up the difference?

My Oakie friends, feel free to field that gem of a question :-)

Thankfully, it seems that our governer isn’t bleating to congress for a handout, yet.

Not surprising that my State is hurting...but I suspicion that some other States are cooking the books and are even worse off. JMHO.

Don't mean to be harsh friend, but your bloated corrupt state government there in Oklahoma will be coming after you.....

Ya see they need to prop up their fat government salaries, their bloated government benefits and their opulent lottery style government retirement benefits.

I suggest that Oklahoma impose a “Redneck Tax.” Maybe a nickel per beer can, $1.00 on any article of camo clothing, 50 cents per can of Bucksnort, $10 on each 4-wheeler, $50 per pickup (said tax to specifically exclude 1985 Dodge Ramchargers) and $100 per female over 18 in Oklahoma because Oklahoma girls are just not human.

parsy, who knew one real well

Why don't they just raise taxes?

Like California does?

Or borrow on non-existent "future" revenues?

All the Oklahoma people are over on the California threads laughing about their deficits and corrupt state government.

In an effort to prop up their fat government salaries, their bloated government benefits and their opulent lottery style government retirement benefits, that will be forthcoming!
