The question is, how long will it be before a state gets in enough financial trouble to default on their obligations. It has already come close to happening in Puerto Rico (and no, not because of hurricane Maria). My money is on Illinois to be the first.

1SG (Join to see) and PO3 Bob McCord Interesting reading at the link in my main comment. In the dissertation there is a graph that shows Illinois as the first to probably fall, with Puerto Rico being second.

PO3 Bob McCord - According to the chart, it looks like CA is about #16.

PO3 Bob McCord - I bet New Jersey is the next domino to fall after Illinois, and I will say that before I look at SSG Robert Webster 's chart

This is one of the reasons Trump limited the state tax deduction. It was to control this transfer from one state to another.
