Re: A lot of these states have themselves to blame.
They should have elected officials who brought in new industry, and encouraged their people to learn new skills..

>>> Well, duh!

>>> But they have absolutely no control over what happens in the larger national economy, nor on what idiotic actions the federal government takes.

>>> Most States have Constitutions which require balanced budgets, for example.

>>> They can't just print more currency to finance their spendthrift ways, like the national government can and does. S**t rolls downhill, don't 'cha know. The average unfunded liability that the federal government's promises have commited us all to pay... breaks down to over a quarter of a million dollars for every man, woman, and new-born child in the country.
