CA is the world's fifth largest economy.

If CA goes bankrupt, it will have a major negative impact on the US and the world economy.

"Overall, the United States is the world's top economy followed by Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, California [if it were broken out as a country] and then France. "

And that is why the US Congress will not let the place go belly up. The US Congress willl rescue California with a bailout. And in return, Congress will "oversee" every last line of every state budget. California will be baby-sat like.... the District of Columbia, for example.

It's my understanding that California was the world's 5th largest economy. Last I heard, under Gray Davis, it became the world's 6th largest economy.

With the fall of the Soviet Union, CA is the most powerful socialist state on the planet.
