New Jersey Fails Once Again

[FireFighter32]

New Jersey is on the Top Ten Most Troubled States list. And you guys say it's so great. Oh and Rhode Island made the list too.

New Jersey: The Garden State, which has been plagued by years of fiscal mismanagement, spends more than it collects in revenue. The collapse of Wall Street, which supports about one-third of New Jersey's economy, has only made matters worse.

Rhode Island: The Ocean State has among the highest unemployment rates in the nation and among the highest foreclosure rates in New England. High tax rates, big budget deficits and a lack of high tech jobs are hurting its chances to pull out of the doldrums. State government has a poor record of managing its finances

"Decisions these states make as they try to navigate the recession will play a role in how quickly the entire nation recovers," said Susan Urahn, managing director of Pew Center on the States.

We rely on you New Jersey

California has been bankrupt for years now, Nevada relies heavily on their casinos which are not seeing the influx of customers because of the economy, and Michigan relies heavy on the auto industry in America and that is being slowly destroyed by the Federal Government. Some of the others are quite surprising though.

Oh well. Hope and change!
