I think it's important to figure out "what" broke it, so that we don't repeat the mistake. And "what" broke it is subprime mortgages (which in many cases banks were pressured to write by liberal social engineering policies) and a de-regulated financial sector that came up with crazy ways to rate those mortgages as "safe" investments, and then sell them and leverage them.
As for who will fix it? Not the liberals that the idiots in CT and MA elected to keep doing more of the same. In CT, the liberals have been running the show forever. Between income tax of the gazillionaires in Fairfield county, as well as the revenue we get from the 2 most profitable casinos in the world, CT has PLENTY of revenue. Revenue shortfall is not our problem...crazy spending is our problem.
When my state income tax is 10% (currently 5%), and my property taxes are $10,000 (currently $7700), that's when I move. And that day is coming.
