The day care center known as the California Legislature has led the State of Disaster to fiscal ruin. - unable to balance the budget without bankrupting the taxpayers - rigged a series of ballot propositions to do jigger the books. Propositions 1A through 1E raise taxes or shuttle money from one formerly protected use to the general fund. The institutionalized insanity of the state overspending is not addressed in any of the proposals.And the people are POed.
Ya think?

WT* is going on with our entire country these days? In the middle of the worst economic slump in decades, NOW is the time Obama and his nut-brothers in California decide spending is the wisest decision.

Looks like big government is going to need a bailout from the private sector.

I suspect the rest of the nation will have to bail out California at least a few times before they wash their hands and let it finally collapse.
You just can’t bail CA out without a plan to resolve their core issues and I don’t see how these can be solved.

If California goes bankrupt and is bailed out by the federal government on terms similar to what we’ve seen with the private sector bailouts, then California is arguably no longer a sovereign state. If that happens the legitimacy of their representatives in Congress is very much in question.

An achieve-nothing waste. It would have been better to send a huge check to every American than the boondoggle of all boondoggles called the “stimulus.”

Too bad no way to annex it to D.C.

Fire the unions! Why should we allow our public “servants” to organize against us? They’re robbing us blind!!

Can bankruptcy shake them off?

And is there some way to move FR’s servers to, say, Nevada? So when the Great Riot happens, we do not go off the air?

The trouble is, many states are, or will be in the same predicament!
You can not spend your way to prosperity...hear that Obama and your cult followers?
Be Ever Vigilant!

Your post triggered another thought: if the Feds bail out California, will Obama fire Arnold?

Just as CA leads the nation in so many things, it will be the first state domino to really collapse. If CA can really be fixed, then it could serve as a blueprint for fixing the whole country. This will include entitlement reform, busting unions, eliminating nutty regulations, and streamlining the state workforce. The problem is that the Liberals will probably not admit defeat until there are uncontrollable riots in the street and Sacramento is buring. In short, they will not allow the state to be saved until it is destroyed.

It’s bound to happen. The whole country’s going down the tubes, California first. Torpedoed by big spending, big government.
Hey government worker! I’ve got your raise right here!!
To: umgud
I was watching Beck on Friday and he had a great point. If the federal govt takes our federal taxes to pay off taxes for programs used by the state of California then here we are again at taxation without representation. The elected officials are being paid by my tax dollars yet not representing me in Congress. They are pushing us toward another revolution based on the exact same principles!
