"The Day of Reckoning"

Last night 60 Minutes hit hard on a big problem facing states across the nation - the impending fiscal crisis.

States have been kicking the can down the road for years and now it's up to us to clean up the mess.

Watch...

  1. This piece is really getting a lot of attention today. Lots of people are talking about it, which surprised me because I thought nobody watched 60 minutes.

    This is why Gov. Sanford wanted to turn down stimulus dollars. He knew, eventually, these cuts had to happen. He wanted to change the system in 2008 but couldn't (for reasons political and, obviously, personal) but this is the real tragedy of the stimulus. We spent 1.3 trillion and didn't CHANGE one damn thing. So we spent the money and now the cuts still have to happen.

    What a tremendous waste and, truly, missed opportunity.

    Not only that, Obama and the Dems laid more costly programs and regulations on us.

    Hope and change.
