Right now, the only thing keeping California out of bankruptcy and complete political and social collapse is the other 49 states. If they were to adopt California's reckless and idiotic political and fiscal policies, there would be nothing to prop up California or the rest of the states, and the U.S. would freefall into political, social, and economic collapse.

I hate to have to state the obvious, but that's it.

and oddly enough, you will hear posters here saying that this is the best we can hope for... a liberal Gub running with a pack of liberal wonks..
