Randy Parker Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Some things here seemed a bit off. On the 10 best-run states side, is Florida "solidly Republican?" I get the others, but Florida? On the 10 worst-run states, Kentucky, West Virginia, & Louisiana aren't exactly what I would call liberal hotbeds. :lol2: The others certainly appear to be more left-leaning though. The information was released by The Mercatus Center at George Mason University, and it covered the following measures: states' ability to pay bills, avoid budget deficits, meet long-term spending needs, & cover pension liabilities (cough, Kentucky, cough). I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on these matters, but I did find the information interesting & thought I'd share it with BGP.

Randy Parker Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 New Jersey being the worst-run state is another reminder of how far Chris Christie has fallen. I honestly thought the guy would be President some day, and would have voted for him, but he has really been a poor Governor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he really was a good governor until he set his sights on the White House. Then, it all went to hell in a handbasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcats Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 There sure is a lot in there that has little to do with tax and politics. :lol2: Interesting stuff none the less. Headline is just bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
