Does anyone believe politicians have the will to curb spending to avoid disaster?

They would rather quit breathing.

I thought that the triple whamming is illegal immigration, enviro wackos, and socialist programs.

As long as the neer-do-wells and entitlement crowds continue to have the vote, politicians (many pubbies, as well) will continue to buy them with bread and entertainment.

The Golden State has become the IOU state.

[Del Rapier]

It is the worst elements of the East coast followed by a truly idiotic frame of mind......it ignores Mexico,while lambasting its relationship to the Pacific rim.

Hence we have people saying “no worries” thousands of miles from Australia and talking about how nice OZ is and how California used to be like that.

That reality means depending in part to our neighbor to the South,for something else then slave labor,doesn’t ever enter into the equation.

Unions who have no idea how to run a budget but who are influential in making sure not a penny is withheld in order to keep their retirees very well paid.

Idiotic Natives(Indians) who think their either Romans or Spartans depending on how drunk they are........

Place is a mess.
