Editorial: The Unnecessary State Covid Bailout – Wall Street Journal

"Research outfit Wirepoints recently estimated that 44 states are running surpluses for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 when Covid relief and budget reserves are included. The six outliers: New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland, Hawaii, Nevada. They have pre-existing spending problems or rely heavily on tourism."

Of course it’s unnecessary. It’s all unnecessary. Poor old President Trump got hoodwinked. You could even see it in real time on Pence and Fauci’s face until they masked them. You could see in their eyes the deception.
