41 US States Face Bankruptcy In 2009
A recent study by The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities revealed that 41 states are facing severe budget shortfalls for 2009. Some states are worse off than others, with California ($31.7 billion) and Florida ($5.1 billion) leading the deficit pack. In all, the 41 states are currently facing a $71.9 billion budget shortfall. The key word here is “currently,” since a similar study was conducted by the same group only three months earlier, at which time “only” 29 states were predicted to face shortfalls of a “mere” $48 billion. As the recession deepens, so will the state’s budget problems, turning this “budget crisis” into a humanitarian disaster. Projections have already been made for a $200 billion shortfall by 2010.

The recommended Now Public highlight tool being carried on Firfox is incompatible with the latest version of Firefox 3 - I just tried to download it from Firefox.

Hi - thanks for your comment. I checked with our technical team who tell me that the Highlight tool is compatible with the latest version of Firefox, version 3.0.4. Are you by any chance using version 3.1, which is still in beta?

41 states US bancrupt 2009. As I predict the united states will fall apart with the US finance system collapsing in March 2009. Nobody wants to hear, see or act.
