This is an interesting article from the wall street journal about weather you should default or not. In Nebraska it is a relatively small problem compared to Arizona, I think this fact is just one more reason that Nebraska is going to have a much easier time coming out of the recession. is be a better place to live. One the reasons is that the government in many of the states that have had a lot of strategic defaults will compensate by over regulation this will lead to a non pro business environment.
