Suspending welfare checks = riots in the streets. And, riots in a single city can become nationwide (at least this is what recently happened in Greece).

This is a ploy to force a federal bailout - but I would like to see it come about. Ending welfare would be like throwing up - it's bothersome when you do it, but you feel so much better afterwards.

They know this will put pressure on Washington to give them a bail out. I can not believe people are foolish enough to believe CA is going to suspend welfare for any significant length of time.
