This meets the classic definition of Chutzpah, as explained by Leo Rosten in the Joy of Yiddish:

“Gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible “guts”; presumption plus arrogance such as no other word, and no other language, can do justice to. A Chutzpanik may be defined as the man who shouts, “Help! Help!” while beating you up.”

Truly astounding. Besides Chutzpah, I would call it theft. Take money from you in taxes and then repay you with scrip that cannot be negotiated.

And here we have California issuing, what to this point are absolutely valueless promises to pay – maybe – and then expecting those in receipt of those worthless bits of script to treat them as real money and to pay taxes on the amount in real money.

That's astonishing. Here's some scrap paper. Give me money. It's outright seizure of wealth. How very leftist of them.

It would not surprise me if the same happened at a federal level. You will be “asked” to “loan” your 401K and savings to the feds to get us out of a “temporary” crisis. When payback time arrives, they will send you government script unusable anywhere or worthless bonds.

Not so funny really.

Stunned, but when I think of that state on the left coast i really am not surprised.

Wasn't it Sean who begged Californians to vote for Arnold because he had an "R" by his name?

Grey Davis has to be laughing his ass off right about now.

NO MORE RINOs!
