It’s not just the federal budget that’s in trouble. State budgets are too.

State budget deficits will eventually add up to more than $281 billion, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures’ latest report.

States are suffering from the same woes as the federal government: a falling tax base and ever expanding spending obligations.
