Not so much a death spiral. CA is more like a head long plunge into the abyss.

"The taker count is the number of state and local government workers plus the number of people on Medicaid plus 1 for each $100,000 of unfunded pension liabilities.Seems an arbitrary formula -- and 4 of the 10 are red states. It also seems pretty obvious that you wouldn't move a factory to California -- but Alabama would be less obvious. Haven't Mercedes and Honda built factories in Alabama?

I used to talk to an Austin girl online (an artist). She claimed she was a conservative but When I told her I lived not far from Ann Arbor she said she had always wanted to go there.

Illinois has already started lobbying for the fedgov to fund their stunningly underfunded state pension system. Given their close personal relationship with Baraq, that probably makes it likely, and then the floodgates are open.
Since the fedgov itself is only a short distance from insolvency, I’m not sure it really makes much difference.

Michigan is actually improving. The first thing we did after the GOP took control in 2010 was to cut some 30,000+ college students off food stamps. There have been other welfare limits imposed as well as the elimination of the personal business property tax. Lots of other regulations are being rolled back every week.

She told me that her father was a rancher and I was thinking longhorns or something but she was talking about pigmy goats. LOL

South Dakota is begging for people to move there and build new businesses. Unfortunately, SD is situated in an ice cave.

As a Realtor, I foresee Michigan once more coming back to life. It will take a while, but I am positive it will happen.
Investors will begin purchasing blocks of those vacancies in Detroit, building nice hotels, Luxury Condos. Just have to wait to see what will happen to all the welfare crowd, maybe they can be driven out.

NY State isn't number one!? I demand a recount! New York City deserves it's own ranking. And then the is Buffalo, or as I like to call it Detroit with less crime and more snow. I forgot Albany, or as I call it "Brasilia on the Hudson".
