I wonder if the Hollywood crowd knows they’re the last cows to be milked in California, as everyone else has either left the state, gone broke, or is already a parasite.

Memo to Martin/Charlie Sheen, Merrill Streep, et. al. - get out that checkbook; your own chickens are about to come home to roost.

The real problem is that anyone who could reasonably look at a budget has left the state. Jerry can’t get federal money to build hid high speed train in the desert. Who would have thought that real people would ask questions about their assumptions for costs and revenue and said, “what are you crazy?” Love it! The real reason for the train was to rebuild the local transportation systems in San Francisco.
Next we have CALPERS. They have given the government pension problems glorious projections of 7% returns for as far back as we can see. Their returns are under 2%. Problem now is that city and county agencies have to contribute more to stay funded and insure that the people on pension continue to get their money.
Jerry wants to create his own NASA with earth satellite to prove that their is global warming. Good luck.
Yep, Jerry has run out of other people's money.
