In California, Connecticut, New York and Illinois, the states’ leaders chose to spend surplus funds created by $350 billion in coronavirus relief aid and a rapid economic recovery from the pandemic-induced shutdown on expanded social programs and public works projects. If debts aren’t repaid by November, all businesses in the states will be charged $21 per employee by the federal government and higher state taxes on businesses to fund unemployment programs.
