NDOL comes through again with a vivid discussion of how the Bush Administration is purposely sticking it to the states with regards to fiscal relief. Snippet:
"Some conservative activists with close ties to the White House are actually gleeful about the states' problems. Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, whose ubiquitous presence in right-wing circles in Washington is supplemented by his organization's nationwide agenda of active harassment of states to oppose tax increases, told The New York Times: "I hope a state goes bankrupt. I hope a state has real troubles getting its act together, so that the other 49 states can say, 'Let's not do that.' We need a state to be a bad example, so that the others will start to make the serious decisions they need to get out of this mess."
