Nevada Goes Nuts, Cutting Spending On Education, Adult Care, Hearing Aids, Speech Therapy, Adult Diapers

Nevada Goes Nuts, Cutting Spending On Education, Adult Care, Hearing Aids, Speech Therapy, Adult Diapers
If the US has its equivalent to the Greeceproblem, it's definitely the state budgets (rather than the Federal one) that we have to worry about.

Here's what it looks like when a state has to make the hard choices, in this case Nevada.
Yesterday the state announced deep cuts in education and health and human services, eliminating hearing aids, adult care, and speech therapy, just to name a few things.Dentures and adult diapers are gone too.
Just like in Greece, there was a strike (among UNLV students, so we doubt it had a huge impact). Of course this is just one such situation.
