If the taxes proposals fail, what does CA do next? Backdoor the taxes? Beg for more federal money?
Declare bankruptcy and tell the union thugs to go pound sand.
They will get a judge to impose it.
The voters will deliver the message. The corrupt rulers, the special interests and the unions, reinforced by the courts, will find a way to ignore it or overturn it. Then we will see what the voters will do.
Probably.
They can pass resolutions out their ears but can’t do squat about those Rats in Sacramento. Sickening.
I prefer a pitchfork revolution to oust the worthless bastards in Sacramento and start over.
See, this is what I dislike about Hewitt. This is an excellent article but it completely ignores the elephant in the room. Hewitt has a habit of doing this. C'mon Hugh - get to the root cause of why CA is bankrupt. I can name four off the top of my head:
(1) Illegals
(2) Children of Illegals
(3) state public unions
(4) Bloated state government
Hugh was an illegal alien coddler ala Medved before Mitt started talking tough on illegals in the primary. Then he did a 180 so fast I got whiplash. Maybe he can revise A Mormon in the Whitehouse for 2012. LOL
I love Hugh’s show, but he’s got a tin ear for Politics and doesn’t know squat about football.
“Declare bankruptcy and tell the union thugs to go pound sand. “
Somehow I don’t see that happening. They aren’t even allowed to lower union wagers without losing their porkulus money. Breaking the union by bankruptcy would probably mean losing all federal money.
Well they could cut spending or sell assets.
“This is an excellent article but it completely ignores the elephant in the room. “
This is common in all media now.
Last week, I saw article after article about 0bama going after the companies “benefiting” from offshoring. I didn’t see any talking about why companies offshored in the first place. Fix that problem and the others would fall into line.
Is that possible? State or federal judge(s)? What are the mechanism(s) to do this?
“Well they could cut spending or sell assets.”
Common sense dictates that this is a good move, therefore I don’t think it will happen.
I have noticed that no one has mentioned sending the illegals home.
A side question on the topic of CA. I read Liberty and Tyranny recently. It seems like the illegals are destroying the health care system of CA, in a large part due to the ease of entry through emergency rooms. Can hospitals close ER’s or is that dictated by the state?
Tax Revolt. If the public votes it down and a judge shoves it down the voters throat, no way in Hell should the people pay.
Getting rid of those boards, commissions, and such that pay unemployed political hacks and stalwarts six-figure incomes could easily save enough to hire 1,700 firefighters. IMO.
Don’t think so...they remember Rose bird.
