Who could have guessed?

Relative to national economic trends, states that increased spending enjoyed on average:
0.2 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate
1.4 percent increase in private employment
0.5 percent real economic growth since the start of the recession

In contrast, states that cut spending saw on average:
1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate
2.1 percent loss of private employment
2.9 percent real economic contraction relative to the national economic trend

It is obvious that the most useless people in the economy lost their jobs - as they should. since their jobs obviously depended on government spending. And "as we all know," government is a parasite, and all those linked to it are parasite suckers! ;)

Yes, and states where homeowners went into the most debt had the greatest run-up in real estate prices. UNTIL THE FRIGGIN' PARTY ENDED and the debt couldn't be paid. State spending is fine when it's not based on inflating debt.
