"There are solutions. Privatize K-12. Start drilling."

Drilling? That won't help. It'll take years before they actually started pumping oil, and even then California would only get a royalty on each barrel. When it leaves the ground, not before.

I suspect that selling the rights to drill would fetch a goodly sum of cash in short order. And besides, privatizing the K-12 system takes $30B off of the budget immediately. Voila. Budget more than balanced, and now taxes can get cut...
