Because all those greedy capitalists left instead of doing their human duty to provide for the welfare of the less fortunate!

from the comments:

Just four states have no budget deficit:

Montana, Alaska, North Dakota, and Wyoming.

What do these four states have in common?

All four states have fewer than 5% of their total population comprised of blacks, as compared to 13% nationally.

Yeah, it’s true. Look it up.

:surprised:

Post by: Goldbrick on April 03, 2010, 02:24:18 PM: 90% of blacks vote democrat.

You could just as easily imply that more blacks in a state = more votes for democrats = more democrats winning elections which correlates to higher budget deficits.

And do so without being racist.
