Hell no to a bailout. As my late mother would say, the way you make your bed is how you lay in it. California has “made its bed” the way it wants; if the bed gets wrinkled, it’s up to them to straighten it out.

Kalifornia = Detroit on methadone.

[Who is John Galt?]

I left California in 2001; even then, the trends were evident. I've always predicted the State will end up as one gigantic park - with every resident unemployed, and sleeping on a park bench.

No ill-will intended to California Freepers, but (now that your neighbors have put 'Cadaver Head' back in the governors mansion), the sooner the State hits the bankruptcy skids the better...

[ThunderSleeps]

GOP controls the House, and thus the funding. There will be no bailout for California, nor any other state, company, industry. No more bailouts, period. Are you listening GOP? Anyone that votes pro bailout will be thrown-out in 2012, regardless of party affiliation.

I’m surprised they don’t have 100% non-celebrities living on welfare. All normal humans need to get out of that state immediately. They need an mass eastern migration asap.

Kalifornia is the cereal state: fruits, nuts and flakes.

The water crisis in the Delta will continue.
If a foreign power wanted to slowly take over the U.S. piece by piece, what would they be doing that’s different from what the Donkeys (a.k.a. Soroscrats) are doing?

[AdaGray]

I hope and pray that the new Congress has the ‘cojones’ not to bail out California when it comes begging.

[hosepipe]

Mexifornia is easy to understand when you consider a couple million illegal aliens voting for whats good for them... NOT.. whats good for the country..

They don't care about no steenkin country..

[BenLurkin]

Easy solution: Nuke Los Angeles.

Just kidding.

[Rashputin]

Their problem is that they think they're too big to fail but they're making themselves smaller, and smaller, every day. 'Too big to fail" only applies when there are jobs at stake and government jobs being the only ones at stake isn't going to impress the rest of the country enough to bail them out.

California has been the home for one sort of bubble after another so long they can't even imagine another one not coming along. They seem to be counting on the "green energy" bubble to bail them out because they didn't notice that it's already been flushed down the toilet.

The sad fact is, California is going to have to go bankrupt and then work their own way out of it. It's a shame it'll hurt so many good people who have been sentenced to having no way to flee by the housing crisis and unemployment. Shoot, they'll probably start selling portions of the state to other countries as a way to raise cash and get back at the rest of us. You know, France gets San Francisco, China buys the valley and runs everyone off to grow crops after building several immense desalinization plants. That sort of thing and all done with labor from the country they sell to.

How long will it be before the states that have been (more) fiscally responsible refuse to carry along deadbeat states like CA, MI and most of the Northeast?

[Lazlo in PA]

Moonbeams base. Cali is DOOMED.

[GOP Poet]

Wow. Just wow.

[TruthHound]

The entire state of California will look like Detroit by 2012. Of the 37 million residents, at least 20 million are brain-fried masochists.

[Spartan79]

And even if 26 sticks around you can expect the Legislature to spend and borrow, spend and borrow....and then all you good people in less retarded States will be sending money to bail this State.

With the outgoing Congress, I think your statement would be correct. The chances of the new Congress taking over in January voting money to bail out the fruitloops in California are slim and none.
