Budget Probs Worse Than Gov. Says

From my vantage point, it appears Kentucky's budget problems are worse than Steve Beshear, or anybody else is talking about. It's the structural imbalance that's the biggest problem.

John Stamper takes a crack at explaining the problem and laying some of the blame where it needs to be, on state lawmakers who have used one time revenues to pay for ongoing new programs that they've put in place. It's like using your 2005 signing bonus check to buy a new house with no clue how you're going to make the mortgage payments in the next few years.
