The Bush administration seems indifferent to the budget crisis in the states.
It may not be able to be so for long
IN STATE capitals across America, there is only one story in town: the
disaster facing state budgets. According to the National Conference of State
Legislatures, states face revenue shortfalls totalling $21.5 billion this
fiscal year, which ends in June—23% more than they thought in November.
Barely a day goes by but local newspapers report a new cut in services.
Back in Washington, the administration seems about as concerned as it would
be by a budget deficit in France. In his original proposal for next year's
federal budget, President Bush asked Congress for no extra aid to the states
(though the deal struck in Congress this week would provide $20 billion, at
the Senate's suggestion).
