Quincy, First let me compliment you on your civil responses. Then let me quote from IBD - to the best of my ability to type. "As a result, the state took a windfall from the stock market bubble and spent it about as fast as it came in. It bulked up the state payroll by 15%, adding more than 40,000 positions in three years, and gave fat raises to state workers. Per capita state spending rose 29% at a time when inflation barely tipped the scale."
