There are a lot of similarities between these two maps which 1) shows states with an overspending problem and 2) shows states that voted for Obama.
Here in Ohio, Republicans, in years past, teed up the overspending ball, but Democrat Gov. Strickland has driven it down the fairway towards bankruptcy. Higher taxes will drive more business out of state, prevent business from coming to Ohio, stop new business start ups and send them all over seas.
