Washington State

It has a population of 6.6 million. Democratic Party runs the State for a long time. When Gary Lock (I believe he is the commerce secretary for Obama administration) was the governor, the State had balanced budget and 2 billion dollar surplus. After the first term of current governor Christine Gregoire, the State is now facing 9 billion dollar budget deficit. That is $1,363 per person in the State of Washington.
The State government is planning to spend $1,363 that they do not have and pass that on to us by means of additional taxes.
When will the government know that they can not just keep spending money. I know it is for a good cause, but you just dont have the money to do what you want.
I am not happy about all the idiots of the large corporate managements, But the amount of money the government is spending is out of control. We need to do something about this. I know it is not only Governor Gregoires fault that there is 9 billion dollar budget shotfall, but she is in the position to fix it. I hope she will. The governorship is not a popularity contest. I hope she knows that.
As a small business owner, I do not want to pay for any waste by the government.
