State lawmakers across the country are heading back into session, faced with how to raise money to keep their governments operating. They're looking for ways to do it without raising taxes.
A Taxing Problem
Those stimulus dollars from Uncle Sam
Appear to be drying up.
States have all spent their rainy day funds
And are left with an empty cup.
Citizens cry for everyday needs
Like food stamps and Medicaid
And still lots of folks are unemployed
And need someone to come to their aid.
The lawmakers may have only one choice;
Yes, the one that all voters expected.
The pols would prefer an alternative move,
Since they all want to get re-elected.
