States of Denial

Instead of creating jobs and solving the problems of middle-class working families, some state politicians are in a real state of denial. They're saying "Thank you" to the corporate CEOs who financed their 2010 election victories by pushing legislation to cut good jobs, lower wages, threaten job safety and weaken unions.

In state after state, newly elected Republican legislators and governors are playing politics as usual by launching a coordinated attack on working families designed to swell already-record-size corporate profits and keep those CEO bonuses coming. These politicians aren't offering up their own pay or pensions—they want working families to bear the burden.

Here's a quick overview of what's happening in these States of Denial—and what you can do about it.
