The best is this...He added that while refund delays popped up in only a few states so far this year, continuing revenue shortfalls could lead others to resort to this "band-aid" tactic.
"This doesn't solve a budget crisis, but it gives you a little float," Barro said.
North Carolina, facing a $2 billion deficit in its current budget, is about four weeks behind where it would normally be in sending out refund checks, according to Kenneth Lay, the state's revenue secretary.
"We're managing the distribution of checks very carefully," he said.
Lay added while the state hopes to catch up by mid-May, there was understandable anxiety on the part of taxpayers who need their refunds due to the sour economic conditions.
"We're telling people 'You'll get your refund check, it's just taking a little longer this year,'" Lay said.
Hope you got preps and a job. If you are waiting on a refund check to supplement your unemployment pittance, good luck. Time to develop a plan. We all better have one. We are going to need it.
