From the report you e-mailed me - the difference CA is a 1.8 trillion economy and NY and ILL are in similar situation - comparing EU v US

Sizing up the Risks
The comparison isn't quite as flattering once the federal government is added to the mix. Since federal taxes have a claim on incomes in every state, a proportional amount of federal debt should be added to a given state's burden for a proper comparison.

For example, adding California?s FY2010 state deficit, projected to be 2.5% of state GDP, to the state's proportional share of the 2010 federal deficit, which we estimate to be 10.7% of GDP, produces a number very similar to Greece's 12.5% deficit.

However, the debt comparison is more favorable, with a 70% of GDP combined state-federal gross debt ratio versus 115% in Greece (or 47% vs. 86% on a net basis).

Regardless of the links between them, states and the federal government face similar fiscal risks, which generally fall into three general categories.
