California screwed.....

California needs Greek style Austerity as there program. They made impossible to keep promises and the pensioners are going to be raped.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

The same solar co's who live off of subsidies financed its defeat which is in the end self defeating, whos going to invest in residential solar requiring a capital expense of many thousands when unemployment is over 12% and over 20% in some areas?

Here's how they'll drive people to it who really can't afford it:

The electrical grid in CA is so archaic and inadequate, that continued neglect will make delivery of electricity increasingly problematic. After enough brown outs and rolling black outs, aided and abetted by our new SMART METERS, combined with accelerating increases in electric bills, enough people will cave in and buy solar to make the election investment worth it to the solar companies who cannot compete in a free market.

Republicans need to QUIT whistling past the (damned) graveyard, on our infrastructure; IN-GENERAL!!!!

They need to QUIT making every problem the result not enough TAX-CUTS (i.e. short-term "candy" for the 1%ers), and (finally) START THINKIN' LONG-TERM INVE$TMENT$!!!!​

"U.S. investment in preservation and development of transportation infrastructure lags so far behind that of China, Russia and European nations that it will lead to "a steady erosion of the social and economic foundations for American prosperity in the LONG RUN."

Perhaps some of you need to familiarize yourselves with Jerry Brown. Although a Democrat, he was extremely fiscally conservative while he was governor, and there was a budget surplus when he left office. Apparently there are enough people in California who remember this and is the reason he was re-elected despite the millions Whitman poured into her election.

 

[Revere]

Jerry Brown had Prop 13 rammed down his throat the first time he was governor. That's what the people of California thought of government's "fiscal responsibility" at that time.

yup I can see that happening, and of course this just leads back to the same old same old, brown will tax us up the wazoo to pay for the huge subsidies both to the industries that cannot complete with china as to making the panels and to the buyers....

.....And, why should we deprive ourselves of the entertainment-value of trying to RECOVER from total-breakdown of one-form (of our infrastructure), or another??!!! ​

That's right.

And its been steadily downhill for that state ever since.

Could be a coincidence, of course.

Another great editorial from PJM.

It’s the proverbial morning after and with votes counted, California has won the Dumbest State Award in a historic landslide of monstrous proportions.

All Californians can now see Greece from their bedroom windows. No need to even go to the backyards and crane their little necks.

In the coming years, the unions, who have been bilking Californians in a protection-racket type scheme, will be taking to the streets in massive, destructive temper tantrums just like those out-in-the-cold workers in other failed socialist states across the big pond. It won’t be pretty.

All the while Californians have been lining the greedy pockets of union masters, they’ve also saddled their economy with the greenest of the green anti-pollution laws, which they’ve just voted overwhelmingly to keep in place. At the very same time, they’ve neglected their infrastructure to the degree that whole cities will probably be condemned shortly as uninhabitable by anything higher on the evolutionary scale than rats. California’s sanctuary cities openly flout federal immigration laws with impunity now, but if they keep it up they’re going to face a loud demand from the other 49 for their statehood and immediate, irreversible secession by force.

Michigan voters saw their future Greece-like fate and changed course. Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida did likewise. Others all across America’s heartland had the smarts to rein in out-of-control Democrat-socialists before their states hit the fans of bankruptcy history. They got it.

Californians still don’t get it.

They have indeed. I'm considering changing my username - I don't want to be associated with that state of stupidity. While we're looking at border security, we really ought to consider ensuring that Californian's don't escape out into the smart people states.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

"Californians are proud to live in a state that always goes its own way. Tuesday was no different.

"While the rest of the country ousted incumbents and took out its rage against Democrats generally, Californians voted resoundingly for experience - and for Democrats. A three-term Democratic senator, Barbara Boxer, beat back a strong challenge from Republican Carly Fiorina. Voters said yes to Jerry Brown - who's not just a Democrat but also a former governor with a political history that stretches back for decades. While the rest of the country threw the dice on Tea Party upstarts and political newbies, Californians chose stability and longevity.

"What's particularly interesting about California's outlier status is that the voters weren't swayed by plays on fear - even though the state's unemployment rate, nearly 13 percent, is one of the highest in the nation. Voters were unmoved by the argument that the state's landmark climate-change law is a "job-killer," and they said no to Proposition 23 with a resounding 59.2 percent of the vote.

"The rejection of Proposition 23 is no shocker - appreciating the environment is a bedrock California value. As for the other, more surprising results? California always goes its own way, and 2010 was no exception."

See.... that's how stupid Boxer is. "Californians go their own way...." Yea, $138bn in the red. This is why I say Californians are stupid. They're gonna ask the Fed to bail them out. That IS NOT going our own way.

Ah, yes....Californians need to implement The Bubblehead-Option!!!

Step 1: Dig-up "Kenny Boy" Lay

Step 2: Demand a total-refund, from the Get Gray Davis Hu$tle!!!


Step 3: Get nails done. It's already been 48-hours, since last-time.

Jerry Brown had Prop 13 rammed down his throat the first time he was governor. That's what the people of California thought of government's "fiscal responsibility" at that time.

So? He was obviously able to work within its parameters, and still had a sizable surplus when he left office.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Wait a minute, I just discovered the most ironic moment of the whole election.

The left wing basically campaigned on "Don't give the keys back to the people who got us into this mess!"

And then the most leftist of all leftist states, California, put Jerry Brown back into office. The very same man who got them into their current mess.

WTF?

Yeah....that's who did it, Skippy.

LMAO X3............this asshole is having a fcukking nervous breakdown!!!!! Cool..........Ive been looking forward to this day for months and months. I knew this miserable fcukk would be the most mirsable amongst the miserable.

Doesnt get it.............far left ideology got the gigantic kick in the balls two nights ago...........and this idiot is telling us what Republicans have to do!!!!!!

 

[Mr. Shaman]

When/if the economy begins to recover, California will do likewise.

Hell....California will LEAD The Recovery....just like the LAST-TIME!!!!​

"Further, as the CBP showed, during the 1990s the higher rate didn't stop California from turning around from what was a very bad recession. The 11% rate of the Pete Wilson era fueled economic growth by providing enough public services and education to enable California to dominate the 1990s economic boomhttp://www.calitics.com/diary/11625/mythbusting-high-taxes-dont-drive-people-out-of-ca, an investment that echoed into the 2000s."

California?

Recovery??

OK..................




The best line from election night came from Dennis Miller, who when asked about how to figure the state voting for Democrats when the state is 150 billion in debt said, "Its losers voting for losers.........the people there can back up the truck for the handouts and not feel guilty because Boxer's whole career has been an entitlement!!!"


Classic


Im not paying one dime to bail out that shithole state!! The whole rest of the country looks at California as a snake pit.................

[Mr. Shaman]

Jerry Brown was CORRECT!!!!!!!​

"But through all the political back and forth, alternative energy has been a settled idea in California, and for that we owe a large debt to Brown. He has been ahead of the curve on energy conservation and renewable resources for decades. During Brown's previous tenure as governor from 1975 through 1982, the nuclear industry was projecting the need for one nuclear power plant every five miles along the California coast. One of them was slated for Corral Canyon on Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu. Corporate interests also insisted on the need for a liquefied natural gas terminal at Point Conception in Santa Barbara, saying it was necessary to keep the lights from going out.

Brown turned these powerful interests down, siding instead with the no-nukes movement and the early dreamers of a solar future. Thirty years later, as a direct result of his vision, California is the most energy-efficient state in America, with an estimated 1.5 million clean-energy jobs and accumulated savings of $50 billion to $60 billion to California consumers."

November 5, 2010​

"A radioactive rabbit caught at Hanford just north of Richland had Washington State Department of Health workers looking for contaminated droppings Thursday.

Contaminated animals occasionally are found at the nuclear reservation, but more often they are in the center of Hanford, far from town.

The rabbit trapped at the 300 Area caught the Department of Health's attention because it was close enough to the site's boundaries to potentially come in contact with the public -- such as if it had been caught by a dog or if its droppings were deposited in an area open to the public.

Several rabbits have been trapped since then and one of them was found to be highly contaminated internally with radioactive cesium, Fordham said.

Because the number of contaminated droppings being discovered on-site has decreased, officials believe it's possible that just one rabbit might have been contaminated and they now are finding old droppings from it.

Washington Closure has narrowed the area of possible contamination to the 327 Building. It was used during the Cold War for testing highly radioactive materials, particularly fuel elements and cladding that were irradiated at Hanford reactors as part of plutonium production for the nation's nuclear weapons program.

The above-ground hot cells were pulled out of the building and demolition began on the structure about a month ago. One theory is that the rabbit might have been sipping water that collected in the building's basement after water was sprayed during demolition to suppress dust.

Washington Closure has taken steps to keep other animals from getting near the building. Workers have put up a chain-link fence and removed any vegetation that might provide a rabbit snack.

Hanford has an extensive program to check for contaminated animals. In 2009, 33 contaminated animals or animal materials such as droppings were found on the site.

In Hanford's earlier years, contaminated animals were more common.

Liquid waste with radioactive salts was discharged into the ground near central Hanford during the Cold War. Rabbits and other animals were attracted to the salts and spread radioactive droppings across as much as 13.7 square miles of sage-covered land before the waste sites were sealed to keep out animals in 1969.

Federal economic stimulus money has been used to survey for the radioactive hot spots that remain four decades later.

In a more recent case, so many radioactive wasp nests were found spread across six acres by H Reactor in northern Hanford that up to a foot of soil was dug up to remove the nests."
