Two States are the worst offenders: New York and New Jersey. Instead of 133 percent, they are at 400 and 350 percent respectively, eligibility to poverty. Oh, no, no; they don't want to make the tough decisions. Guess what; not only do the State legislators not want to make tough decisions, this Congress also doesn't want to make tough decisions. That is why we are facing almost a $1.5 trillion annual budget deficit. America, please, please, wake up, and remember in November.
