I don't believe either is right, in fact I think it's an abomination that we as a people tolerate either.
especially from a federal government which is supposed to be smaller and submissive to the states.
our political system is out of control,
i'm very thankful to be a native of nd and be living here now as well. ND and MT are the only two states that have a surplus currently from what I understand.
can you imagine being in Kansas or California? and taking IOU's on your state tax returns :P
LOL

The ND Policy Council also puts out the Pork report. In 2007 our legislature passed a bill to protect black birds. They appropriated $79'500 from our tax dollars.
The racing commission rec'd $120'640 to benefit the horse racing industry
The Bank of ND rec'd $100'000 for landscaping.
These are our tax dollars. The report covers even the former Ag Commissioner submitting a $7 reimbursement for admission to the ND State Fair.
You may be surprised how our hard earned money is spent.
