The state government is in dire straits, we are told. We must pay higher taxes, we are told. The cupboard is bare and they are running out of money, we are told. Then there’s this:

“More than $2 billion in California taxpayer money has apparently been stashed in hundreds of special funds unaccounted for by the state Department of Finance, a newspaper reported on Friday..."

G.K Chesterton is quote as saying, “It is terrible to contemplate how few politians are hanged”.

I don’t give a smelly Obama about California until I see proof that they have indeed hanged (more than) a few politicians.

Permit me to suggest an alternate title for this article:

California Government Has More Money Than It Knows What To Do With

Or how 'bout this one:

Cal Bureaucrats Have Money Coming Out The Wazoo

At this very minute, there are hundreds of California Democrat politicians slapping their foreheads and saying, “Two billion!!! They didn’t miss two billion bucks!!! Think of the swimming pools we could have built at our houses!!!”
