No bailouts. No aid. No nothing. Texas didn’t get anything in 1986 when the state basically collapsed with the oil market crash, and California laughed. California should get the same.

Wait, I thought California was heaven on earth! How could this happen? What is going to happen?

Hint: CA is coming after $$ from the other States....unless Congress has the cojones to stand up to an outrageously large congressional delegation.

One solution: cede CA to Mexico, and move The Wall north, Just sayin’. Let them use the peso.

I think California--unlike Texas with its nearly complete dependence on the oil industry at the time--has a better chance to reform itself because California has a much more diverse economy: agriculture, entertainment, petroleum (people forget California has a huge oil industry), technology and world trade.

I think with Trump now President, it will force reforms at the Federal level that will at least reform the agriculture and petroleum industries.

California's dream of becoming a Marxist utopia is gonna come crashing down.Couldn't happen to a nicer state! Californians should remember that the folks in flyover country...you know,the illiterate,racist,sexist,islamophobic,homophobic knuckledraggers that elected Mr Trump...couldn't care less and won't be chipping in a single nickle to bail you out!

From the article:No government bailout for CA. They've know this was coming for years. And kicked the can down the road.

Even a child can add 2 plus two and get four. Why does the state gvt in CA insist the answer is five?

Does that mean the California sanctuary cities are still on?

Actually, it may be quite fun to watch how the Trump Administration responds to demands for ‘earthquake relief’. I doubt they’ll simply fork over $15 Billion or whatever is needed to again bail-out their budget. Instead they’ll add a few strings, like suspension of state Prevailing Wage laws, state environmental laws, and everything else they can think of that drives up costs.

...and they’ll simply say “take it or leave it”.

At least that’s my hope with our guys.

I wonder if any politically connected businesses in CA are exempt from this tax burden. And is it just private sector employers, or are government employers included.

Notice that they did not mention this additional tax you owe until after the election.

I am at least hopeful we will not see any bailout for kalifornia. It is time the piper is paid and consequences take their toll.

Will this extend to the kalifornia state pension system? I certainly hope so. It is far too lush as are most other public pensions.

The public employees are enjoying much better benefits and retirements than the people who are being forced to pay for both are able to afford for themselves. IT IS TIME THIS ENDS. However brutally it ends is of no consequence at all to me. I simply don’t care about anything but that this gorilla is taken off the back of the taxpayer.

When a kalifornia city manager of a small town can retire in his late 50s with almost one-quarter of a million dollars a year with built in raises and cost of living it has gone too far. When he has enough money in retirement to vacation in Scotland and play the old course at St. Andrews it has gotten obscene.

Sick and tired of the obscenity on my back.
