PARENT'S RIGHTS NOW!

According to "GOP candidates tout states' rights," the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidates all agree that the State would be better off foregoing federal aid and asserting more control over its own affairs. However, though not current, the study The Federal Budget and the States Fiscal Year 1999" may shed some light on the question of whether South Carolina politicians are wise to push so hard for South Carolina to go it alone. If South Carolinans think times are tough now, they will not be happy when New York, Washington, Ohio, California, Oregon, and the other Donor States stop sending a check each year to help South Carolina with its Medicaid, schools, child support collections and so on.
