The bail out for states

So in today's paper they listed the 5 worst states' economies and Florida was number 2. Then they listed the 5 states getting the least amount of aid from Washington- Florida. Is something not wrong here? It is bad enough that we cut one of our two sources of income- property taxes- that the governor said would hold education harmless. Yeah, right. He really is brilliant at talking out of both sides of his mouth. The state budget is in the tanker- they are cutting education yet they raised the amount going to jails. They better just keep raising that amount because education in Florida is crap and with the cuts taking place education will just get worse and we will really need those jails.
