We have to remember too, that must state budgets must be balanced. So when there's a budget crisis, what do they do? They cut programs. It could be SNAP and Medicaid, but it could also spill over to education and roads.

Following the funds flow over the next few years is going to be important.

They push new work requirements onto states which they must implement.

For states like West Virginia (my home state) and Kentucky, this is going to have a profound impact on state budgets and ultimately the people in the state.
