STATES WITH PROJECTED FY2010 BUDGET GAPS

You thought THAT was bad, huh? The following is only for those with a strong stomach for Mad-Max scenarios:

The previous posting totaled 'only' $59 Billion in State budget shortfall across ALL states nationwide. Below is a projection for just the next 24 MONTHS.





What was 'only' a projected $59 Billion dollar shortfall this year, is projected to balloon over 300 PERCENT in just the next two years.


The picture changes dramatically in just the next year alone. Actually, doubly so:
