If the ship is gonna burn, might as well let the rats be at the helm.
No one can save kalifornia. Or Illinois. We are in so much debt, and they just gave a 14% pay raise to our state workers here in Illinois.
I’m starting to be anxious for these state governments to go belly up so they can be rebuilt. I know they will go belly up, its just a matter of “when”, and I’d rather it be on Obama’s watch. Let him deal with the mess his “progressives” made. I don’t know that’s the answer, but for all the good work anyone can do, it seems hopeless at this point to think anyone, anywhere can turn some of these states around without it turning out like Greece or even Tehran.
I’m at the point of saying “kalifornia, you get what you deserve”, same with my state as well.
Reminds me of my kids when they were younger, they would argue and cuss and argue and cuss. Finally, I went to Venture and bought boxing gloves, and just told em to go out in the backyard and no one was coming in until they had enough. Mom and dad were sick of their BS. They did go out in the yard, they bloodied each other. They tore down everything they had between each other. From then on, they got along (for the most part)with a new found respect for each other, and with the knowledge that mom & dad had enough of their crap. They knew that we would no longer be there to play “mediator” and solve all their problems. I think that’s what these states need. They need to know that the rest of the nation is no longer going to put up with their crap.
Some folks fantasize about being wealthy or having a Ferrari, I fantasize that some state, maybe AZ or Texas will just get up and secede.
Heck, retirement in the Philippines is starting to look more and more enticing.
