%'s are irrelevant. Its the absolute dollar amount that matters.

The more revenue and expenses you have, the easier it gets to cut big amounts. For example, $12 Billion are slated to be cut from the budget this year, and obviously the state is still spending a good amount. Many states don't even have a budget that big.

Or does it have something to do with the bond market, and how it reacts to state debt?
