California faces $340 billion in debts, or more than $8,500 for each of its 38 million residents, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office said Wednesday in recommending that the state set priorities for paying down its key long-term liabilities.
The state should first address the $73.7 billion shortfall in the teachers' retirement system, a debt that could cost the state, teachers and school districts a combined $5 billion a year to resolve over 30 years. Without changes, the system serving 868,000 members is projected to run out of money by 2046.

It is going to get a lot worse for the socialist in CA, as more businesses
move out.
So, why are not all of those liberals helping out? I am certain that they have plenty of cash to assist their failing State.
Run and DESTROYED by Democrats.
They have one big advantage.
Their 55 electoral votes and membership in the “blue wall” means they’ll be at the front of the line for federally guaranteed state bonds.
Along with Illinois and New York.
When Jerry Brown was recently asked about why Toyota is moving from California to Texas he said “You get what you pay for.”
That shows you how clueless and economically ignorant most people in California are, especially the voters.
“The state should first address the $73.7 billion shortfall in the teachers’ retirement system,”
In other words they never fully funded the retirement system, instead relying on future tax receipts to cover their failures.
They should just levy that as a tax per person and see how that flies
“federally guaranteed state bonds”
The federal government guaranteeing California ... that’s something like Jesse Jackson vouching for Bill Clinton’s veracity and character?
U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK
The Outstanding Public Debt as of 07 May 2014 at 08:44:56 PM GMT is:
$ 1 7 , 4 7 7 , 8 7 7 , 3 5 5 , 6 2 9 . 6 9
The estimated population of the United States is 318,173,167
so each citizen’s share of this debt is $54,931.97.
“They should just levy that as a tax per person and see how that flies”
How about a $5000 per head tax on illegal immigrants? That would be a good place to start
I totally understand what you mean.
But as long as the markets continue to swallow the fake money, there will be liberals more than willing to create the debt.
Bump
In Dec the state announced it’s budget surplus projection.
The dems in Sacto are planning on increasing programs in a variety of areas. Can’t have that surplus around.
That’s not possible, with the demonrats holding all the cards, they couldn’t possibly be pissing away California’s future. I seem to recall not that long ago that Gov. Moonbeam was telling everyone to ignore the iceberg looming ahead, that California was in great shape. I usually wouldn’t care about a bunch of demonrats sinking on their ship, but damnit! their taking me down with them.
I’ve been attacked on here for saying that before an illegal gets “in-state” college tuition rates, they should have to pay for the number of years they have illegally received K-12 education for free.
Get out while you still can and take all of your assets with you. There are great investments and a much lower cost of living in other great states.
I have THE SOLUTION!RAISE TAXES On THE PRODUCERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of Guam tipping over from military personnel Kali will tip over from debt.
It couldn’t happen to a better state or their governor or the STUPID VOTERS, that voted them in. If I was a private company or self employed or working for a private a company, I would make a BEE-LINE for a more business friendly state. Because YOUR TAXES ARE GOING TO GO UP TO THE SKY. Who will the state government tax? The people on government dole? Or maybe they will tax the illegal invaders? I know, they are going to tax all the state employees. Yeah right. What’s happening in California will be happening in every liberal state in the union. I predict that what will happen to California next, will be the people with imagination will go on a barter trade. NO TAXES TO PAY. GO FOR IT, ALL YOU LIBERAL, SOCIALISTS AND COMMUNISTS, drive California broke. But before that happens, I will guarantee every one, these same politicians will leave that state, to do damage to another state.
