“It’s absolutely clear the only permanent solution for California’s problems is to elect a two-thirds majority of Democrats in each house of the Legislature”

That certainly is the ‘final solution’ for them. Off the cliff.

The train headed for the cliff is picking up speed. If they do get a 2/3 majority, this train will probably run much faster than their high speed bullet train ever dreamed of.

It really is a shame. Think of it. A Left Wing one party Government controlling the largest State in the Union.

I feel sorry for the traditional Conservative population that still lives in Ca.

The blame is part demographics and part milk toast Republican Party.

California’s drunken spending will be propped up by a federal TARP on STEROIDs program.

It is gonna’ be fun watching California go under. That is until it becomes a ward of the federal government and the tax payer gets the bill.

CA has been “lost” for years. After my last visit there I swore I will never be back.

I don’t think that there has ever been a more clearer message to those remaining productive people and businesses in California that the last train is pulling from the station.

Wow! And I thought the taxpayers were already being raped. I guess they just want to turn California into Michigan. It really is sad. I was born and raised there. During the late 80s and 90s, recessions didn’t really seem to matter much there. I was always able to find work. One of my closest friends still lives there and from what I hear it is no longer like that.

And I honestly thought there wasn’t a state more screwed up than the People’s Republic of Illinois...until I read this.

First to crash, first to recover.

Funny; how all those union members
believe that their pensions and life-
time medical will be fully paid for
the next 40 years.

LOL.

Wait til the only people left in California
are rogue pot farmers, lettuce-pickers and
grape-pickers.

When the state can only get the water that
melts from snow within the state.

Is there any State under Democratic control that isn’t screwed up?

Not unless(BIG IF) the RepublicRAT party can find the balls to let them go under. All bills dealing with the budget start in the House.
