COLUMBIA -- State agencies face more than $350 million in new budget cuts after the state's economists slashed their revenue projections again and predicted an unemployment rate of 14 percent by next summer.

It seems E.J.s possible peak unemployment rate for south carolina made on 07-02-08 of 7% might be a tad bit off. Time for another update?

If South Carolina suffers from high unemployment and if the unemployment rate may hit 14% by summer, why did SC just one month ago, vote for the Republicans and against change?

Good lord, even conservative states like Nevada and Colorado, Missouri and Florida got the message, but South Carolina apparently did not. What's wrong down there? Still hooked on phonics?

what message is that? Our economy is tanking so elect the other party and all will be fine?
maybe they vote on social principals vs "which party-gov is going to give me the biggest handout" - perhaps not the smartest move but

Yeah, I hate the dumbsh*ts that say "hate the other party? vote for us and every problem in the world will be solved"
