Tommy, many of those states you listed with record deficits have Republican Governors. New York, Mass. and Minnesota all have Republican Governors.

Er... "$38 Billion" was the deficit, but $8 Billion in the red is the projection for next year (gee, I wish the federal deficit could turn around that fast!)

As to the 'biggest state deficit per capita', Alabama just moved into the 'lead'.

That article is a perfect example of biased statistical analysis.

It ignores any analysis of Bush's deficit spending.
Or of any effect of unfunded mandates.

Or of the effect of 911 and subsequent costs to some areas that are more than others.

It also ignores the fact that some areas were more affected by the stock market bubble and so also more affected by it's crash.

Shallow biased analysis IMO.
