Both states faced the same budget problem: rapidly declining revenues in the midst of a dramatic economic downturn.
The solution in Illinois: Raise taxes. The result? Declining revenues, and lost residents and jobs.
The solution in Ohio under Republican Governor Kasich, get spending under control.
The result? Tax growth, under-spending in Medicaid yields a state surplus.
Market-based, limited government solutions are the best. It is established.
