"New Orleans" seems like a good word for situations like this one.

This is brilliant. Every school in the Golden State can instantly raise its all-in tuition by $500*(1+tbill yield), pocketing the windfall...

Steinberg said the state's $131 billion annual budget spends taxpayers' money on far more dubious programs. Oh, well, then, go ahead. If you waste a little, you can waste even more...[/s]
Where's the money come from? Oh, yeah...from people who DO earn it.

About 566,000 children are expected to be born in California next year.
And how many will be the children of illegal aliens? Stupid gringos...

If families added $50 a month to the state's initial contribution, the savings account would grow to nearly $17,500 at 5 percent interest over 18 years.
Steinberg said that would promote saving money in a culture that now is carrying record levels of debt and has the lowest savings rate since the Great Depression.

for which the sleazebags in Sacramento and DC have had nothing to do with, I guess, even as they have spent like drunken sailors and continue to do so.
If these idiots want to look out 'for the children', maybe they could stifle the urge to go even deeper into the socialist abyss we are already nigh consumed by..

Seeing how many California newborns are the offspring of ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS (aka, identity theives, crimaliens and the like)...
I got to admit that's one fine plan to economically push California
into the Pacific Ocean.

What a stupid idea. Now if I could invest my FICA taxes... that just might work!

The Founding Fathers always said, When the legislators and the government officials find out they can raid the treasury and then begin to raid the treasury, the time of an end to the republic draws nearer.

Can we just give California to Mexico and try to preserve the rest of our country?

Recipients would repay the state's initial $500 investment once they turn 18. There's the problem. The money will be withdrawn in most cases early in the child's life. When the child turns 18, the state will present him with a bill for $500. Then the crying will start.
