One only has to look at the worst off States and Better off States and check out who runs them . Conservatives or liberals . Few exceptions States run by Conser. are better off and the States that was in debt and now run by Conservatives are getting better. No way to hide the truth about the difference. Now Calif. and Ill are in deeper trouble and I hope the House of Rep.s stick to the conservative way and do not , I repeat DO NOT bail them out with my Tax dollars.
