States' revenues have declined, so they are cutting expenses and raising tax rates. Federal revenues have declined, so they are increasing expenses and lowering tax rates, mostly for the wealthy. Ain't denial grand? We need a balanced budget amendment, even if it's too late. BTW, in Washington State, they are considering a change in how unemployment works which will miraculously reduce unemployment by up to 40,000. If every state did that, we'd finally see some really good unemployment numbers! seattlepi.nwsource.com
