And by the "I won't raise your taxes" vote whoring game. So the States are more and more broke every year...and then GOP Governors jump in blaming their state's fiscal woes on members of greedy public unions and greedy overpaid public school teachers, and greedy management level public servants who negotiated good pensions for themselves in lieu of the paycheck they would have gotten for 25 years working in the private sector.

And the gullible, ignorant, lazy-ass fucking electorates in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Arizona, etc., just buy it.
Not much that I can add to that.
