SOUTH CAROLINA DSS FINES MOUNT CANCELING OUT MUCH OF SURPLUS

Recently, it was reported that the State of South Carolina has a budget surplus. But, maybe those making this claim are unfamiliar with the situation outlined at http://parentsrights.blogspot.com/2010/12/south-carolina-dss-fines-mount-will.html?

South Carolina is paying about $10 Million per year on this debt, but because the State refuses to comply with federal law, the taxpayers are being assessed about $10 Million per year in additional penalties. Therefore, the balance on the fine probably remains around $70 Million. Then there is the stolen $338,500 in federal child-support funds discussed in this article which probably has to be reimbursed also.

So, it appears that the ballyhooed surplus, or most of it anyway, exists only on paper
