44 States....Budget Shortfalls Listing

Quote from Trvlwanderer:

Alaska is doing well.

And here the Press had me convinced the governor is an ignorant, caribou killing beuty queen.

Yes.

She was brilliant for planting dinosaur bones in Alaska.
 
Does it all really matter? NO!!!!

The government will earmark part of the second tranch of the TARP funds or include state bailouts in the $1 trillion stimulus package.

No one else fails until the government itself fails.

And then what?
 
Quote from bond_trad3r:

Alaska is bankrolled by oil money, the comparison to other states are unfair. There are 5 others states which are great models for fiscal responsibility that could reach the other 44 a thing or two.

You don't want to give credit to Palin for balancing the budget by cutting spending 7% in the upcoming fiscal year?

Come on, the other 44 would have squandered the Oil money that Alaska manages so well and the budget was balanced off of cuts, not tax increases.
 
Quote from housemoney:

WHAT IS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR???

ALL OF THESE STATES ARE CONSERVATIVE WITH OIL REVENUE...

And yet the Libs will go to their grave saying that oil is the biggest threat to humanity. Fucking laughable.

Fight tooth & nail against every single viable energy platform and put all your eggs in the wind/solar basket (which produces virtually no energy and likely won't be viable for decades).
 
I beleive the difference between fiscally sound states and states
who are circuling the bowl fianancially can be attributed to social
Idealism versas practical realism. Social idealist believe that there
are an endless ammount of rich people who they can tax to fianace their socialist wet dreams. Practical realist see that you
can only tax people so much(even rich folks) before they say
screw it ,throw in the towel and cease being productive( or as productive.) Practical realist also realize that state spending has to be capped at a specific benchmark based on state revenues.
One great aspect of the US is that business and individuals have
a choice in which state they perfer to operate. It is no suprise
that Texas has the highest rate of inbound mirgation and also
has the nations lowest unemployment rate, and no income taxes.
Milton Friedman would be proud!
