Apparently, making a budget is a job American (politicians) don't want to do. Taking money under false pretensions is a crime.

The State Lottery? Shouldn’t the lottery be a MONEY MAKER for a state??!! Then again, maybe it does depend upon how many cousins, nephews, sons, daughters, campaign contributors and the like are appointed to the “Lottery Commission” by their favorite politicians!

This story does not surprise me but what does surprise me is that there are not more state government shutdowns especially in the liberally run or controlled states such as California, Illinois and Massachusetts just to name a few.

Simple solution. Let it happen, then fire everyone who they decide they can do without while shut down and keep the rest.

“Republicans and Democrats have agreed on is tapping up to $1.5 billion in federal recovery dollars to fill part of the $2.8 billion budget gap.”

When you cant run a state properly, steal from people in other states!

The average American has to live on a budget. It should be no different for the government.

These shutdowns are the perfect opportunity for requiring state government employees to submit hair samples for drug and alcohol testing.
