Obamacare crowding out state government

NY Post:

Of 537 school budgets up for a vote in the Garden State, 315 -- a whopping 59 percent -- went down in flames Tuesday. That's more than the state's seen in decades.Why so many rejections? Because some 80 percent of those budgets sought property-tax hikes. As if Jersey isn't already a national leader in property taxes.

As if ObamaCare, the stimulus and Washington's trillion-dollar deficits hadn't sent actual taxpayers into a lather.

Homeowners, in particular, have had enough.

We have states and localities undergoing restructuring, then Pelosi saddles them with Obamacare tax hikes to make matters worse.
