State Budgets Woes Worsen
States are facing a great fiscal crisis. At least 46 states faced or are facing shortfalls in their budgets for this and/or next year, and severe fiscal problems are highly likely to continue into the following year as well. Combined budget gaps for the remainder of this fiscal year and state fiscal years 2010 and 2011 are estimated to total more than $350 billion.
States are currently at the mid-point of fiscal year 2009 — which started July 1 in most states — and are in the process of preparing their budgets for the next year. Over half the states had already cut spending, used reserves, or raised revenues in order to adopt a balanced budget for the current fiscal year — which started July 1 in most states. Now, their budgets have fallen out of balance again. New gaps of $46 billion (over 9% of state budgets) have opened up in the budgets of at least 42 states plus the District of Columbia. These budget gaps are in addition to the $48 billion shortfalls that these and other states faced as they adopted their budgets for the current fiscal year, bringing total gaps for the year to over 14 percent of budgets.
The states’ fiscal problems are continuing into the next two years. At least 41 states have looked ahead and anticipate deficits for fiscal year 2010 and beyond. These gaps total almost $88 billion — 16 percent of budgets — for the 34 states that have estimated the size of these gaps and are likely to grow as gaps are re-estimated in the next few months.

Billions In Recovery Bill For Fraud-Infested ACORN
Mon, 01/26/2009 - 15:53 — Judicial Watch Blog
A
radical leftist “community group” known for its fraudulent voter
registration drives will get billions of taxpayer dollars under the
Democrats’ massive spending bill, approved last week by the House
Appropriations Committee.
Scheduled for a full U.S. House of Representatives vote this week,
President Barack Obama’s controversial trillion-dollar economic
recovery package was supposed to focus on creating jobs and immediate
tax relief to stimulate the ailing economy.
Instead the monstrous spending bill will fund dozens of new
government programs, contraceptives, colleges and universities with
billion-dollar endowments and leftwing groups like the Association of
Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), for years under
perpetual federal investigation.
Already largely funded with U.S. tax dollars, Chicago-based ACORN
will get a big chunk of $4.19 billion allocated for “neighborhood
stabilization activities” ...
