There is a new law from the government. This new rule changes how much money states can have. States need money for many important things. They help people who are sick and people who need food.
Now, states have less money. This is a big problem. State leaders have to decide how to spend the money they have. It is a very difficult choice for them to make.
They want to keep people healthy and fed. But with less money, it is hard to do this. They must find a new way to help everyone.
