Turns out GOP was right all along. All the gloom and doom about covid-19 causing states to into financial insolvency largely has not happened. In fact some states like Idaho have so much surplus cash they may issue refunds to residents.
Good portion of this was due to all the various stimulus measures including all that unemployment money.
What you do have is also pretty much what republicans have said all along, states that had spending problems before covid-19 are now caught with their pants down.
New York State and City were crying all last year about how broke they were going to be, and it largely didn't happen. Neither is out of the woods totally, but that is more due to their entrenched liberal spending.
