    I suppose it depends on how you define "worst run" states.

    It that via rich v poor.   Or which states are running the most debt...mismanaging the funds. 

    Does not matter if you make $1M dollars if you are spending $2M dollars. Sounds misrun/mismanaged to me.

    Looking at debt via states:

    1 New York
    2 California
    3 Massachusetts
    4 Illinois
    5 New Jersey  
    6 Texas
    7 Pennsylvania
    8 Connecticut 
    9 Washington 
    10 Michigan

    it certainly presents a different story..... This post was edited by my2cents at August 23, 2021 12:20 PM MDT
