yes, I think that article represents truths many states spent recklessly, with California leading the pack federal bailout would only mean taxpayers of fiscally responsible states bailing them, picking up the tab for their irresponsible spending habits Basic accountability demands that the unit of government that spends the money should have to collect the taxes. If state spending is financed by state taxes, elected officials cannot spend beyond their constituents' willingness to be taxed; but when states can simply withdraw whatever money they need from the federal ATM, that incentive to weigh benefits against costs vanishes. accountability unfunded federal mandates should be repealed all levels of government should reduce spending and live within their tax budgets everything has 'a little more nuance', some too much by far
