This is the Season Of The States
I just made that up. What I'm talking about is the agony the states will now be going through as they try to establish their annual budgets. Many (most?) states require balanced budgets. Pretty much all governors fear raising taxes. No more federal bux, since that piggy bank's been robbed. So that leaves cuts. Deep, painful, draconian cuts of the type that make Grover jizz in his pants.

What plans are being made in your state?
