The california bail out will bring down the country.
I say give it to mexico. See if they can afford that shit hole.
I decided CA was screwed back in the mid 70's when a company offered to double my salary to move there. I checked it out and figured that they would have to triple it at least for me to break even.
Buh byethey called it already for boxer and brown.....I gotta get a second job...
I got to move, I hate this state.

With one in every eight workers unemployed and empty state coffers, California is borrowing billions of dollars from the federal government to pay unemployment insurance.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the state owes $8.6 billion already, and will have to come up with a $362-million payment to Washington by the end of next September.

Oops I see trajan had already posted that. Do they honestly expect the rest of the country to bail them out when the bills come due? How does a state declare bankruptcy?
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."

if I thought it would make a difference I would explain why this rail bond issue and the proposed vegas to Anaheim rail line is a complete absolute disaster in waiting....
....and, you "conservatives" are worried about an INFLUX o' those tiny-Demons who run-along....carrying such a train on-down-the-line. Your Clerics are lying to you. It's that magical/electrisical-stuff that's actually doing the work.

California: The Lindsay Lohan of States
Sacramento is headed for trouble again, and it shouldn't expect a bailout.
By ALLYSIA FINLEY
Listen up, California. The other 48 statesyour cousin New York excludedare sick of your bratty arrogance. You're the Lindsay Lohan of states: a prima donna who once showed some talent but is now too wasted to do anything with it.
After enjoying ephemeral highs and spending binges, you suffer crashes that culminate in brief, unsuccessful stints in rehab. This cycle repeats itself every five to 10 years, as the rest of the country looks on with a mixture of horror and amusement. We'd feel sorry for you if you didn't constantly flip us the bird...

What is it with you people and "Bringing down the country"? You morons squeel that montra so often that it has lost all meaning. I would be willing to bet that a serious search would find at least a hundred references to this or that "gonna bring down the country" over the last ten years. All of it from you fundi fuckwits. If there was even a sliver of truth to all your screechy warnings our country would be rubble fom sea to shining sea.
and to keep the home fires burning...
Calif borrows $40M a day to pay unemployment
Sunday, November 7, 2010
With one in every eight workers unemployed and empty state coffers, California is borrowing billions of dollars from the federal government to pay unemployment insurance.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the state owes $8.6 billion already, and will have to come up with a $362-million payment to Washington by the end of next September.
The continued borrowing means federal unemployment insurance taxes are going to increase, upping the annual payroll costs $21 a year per worker.
California tops the list of 32 states that have borrowed a total of $41 billion to pay claims.

Hell.....Americans (Nation-WIDE) would FLOCK to experience such a ride!! Californians would be able to leave work....ZIP over to Vegas....and, STILL be home for a good-night's-sleep!!! Such a link would be a Showplace for potential-investors in rail-travel!!
Maybe your greatest-fear is if such a link was mag-lev
You're (obviously) lobbying for some competing-industry....and, Ya' Got NOTHIN'!!!!!
It's 2010!!!!

Oh really? I transferred from DC to La Jolla in 75, and had a one bedroom apartment on La Jolla Blvd, one block from the beach (could see the ocean from my window) for $150. The apartment I had in Virginia at the time was $250. I found it to be a lot less to live there. You could ride the bus all over San Diego County for a quarter. San Diego State was $6 a credit hour--quite a bargain.
