States with high budget deficits and debt
I have enough knowledge of this to know that I probably don’t want to know how bad it is. As a resident of Massachusetts I know that MassHealth is a large liability that without the federal aid would cause severe problems in our budget. We are not alone though, State debt is a problem in many states. Check out this state debt map. Â
What seems to be the biggest concern is unfunded pensions (isn’t that illegal in the private sector?) . What I want to find is some information about when these pension liabilities start to become a real problem.
