So the State Borrows 900 million to close last years Budget, 2 billion to help shore up the state pension fund 2 years ago, and now must borrow another billion to pay unemployment benefits. When does it stop??

The entire problem here is caused by the fact that fiscal conservatives have almost no power in our state government what-so-ever. The reason for this is that the electorate genarally hasn't given them any. So it's the fault of the voters.
