California, Illinois, all of these states run by the bb brained left are in trouble. The geniuses in Springfield have proposed to borrow another 4,000,000,000.00 to pay back some of the 16,000,000,000.00 in debt we already have. They say they can get a more favorable rate on the new debt. How?? Especially when the state’s credit rating was recently downgraded??? LOL Their logic is laughable at the least – Lorica

@Phineas They will trot out “don’t hate the children!” when it comes time for the Feds (that is to say, the rest of us) to bailout California.

2011 Texas legislature cut $4 billion from education and the belly-aching from (Austin) liberals drones on. To hear them, you’d think we just subjected all the kids to coal mining indentured servitude.

As a resident of California, is it me or do we seem to be voting on a “save the schools” proposition every two years.

You’re not imagining it, Ryan. They trot that “Don’t hate the children!” blackmail out whenever they want to raise taxes.

Yes, but Drew, all Mr. Brown (and President Obhammud, as far as that goes) wants to do is spend his way out of debt.

I only wish such unicorn thinking worked, ’cause I can think of lots I could go into debt for if it would get me out of debt!

California and New York were pointed out yesterday as being the states supplying an inordinate number of commiecrats to the US Congress and today Forbes points them out as two of what are termed “death spiral” states where investing money can be disproportionately risky when comparing all 50 (or is it 57?) states. Three of the criteria used to win such a designation are high debt, uncompetitive business climate, and a ratio of takers to makers higher than 1. Translation: you cannot spend yourself rich.
