I’ll go out on a limb: Could a potential federal bailout of California become a presidential campaign issue?
Just looking at North Korea and Cuba, no, they will still believe no matter how bad it gets. Fortunately those in Kalpornia can still escape
Do you think Obama, Reid and Pelosi care if the rest of the country wants to bail them or not??
Like the metaphor in your post, and your tagline.
Basically the reporting and statistics agencies have become subordinate to the politicians....which raises the question as to why We the People should continue to pay the agency employee salaries..since they no longer work for us.
No, but would they have the votes? The remaining Dems saw what happened to their fellow conspirators last time.
And that figure reflects the $370 I paid In February on my 9 year old pickup ! Seems like many people are taking vehicles off the road, as too expensive to operate. California has so screwed itself. I marvel at how far we have fallen on a weekly basis. Sigh.
They can escape until this same crap happens at the federal level. The benefit of local control is being lost every day that O’Dumby controls the government and the repubs bow down to the one who bows to the middle east. Once we lose local control completely we will have no place to escape to. Then we all will be skinned by the dems, and the weak kneed worthless repubs.
“California will be our Greece....”
Naah...think Detroit...growed up good to the state level.
The GOP establishment will want to bail out Kalipornia too
I see no rational reason for the drop off in Vehical tax revenue to that extent other than some error in the numbers.
even more creatively, at what point do you think Governor Moonbeam and the insane state legislature will schedule a vote to withhold Federal tax remittences from DC?

I don’t think it’s just ‘taking them off the road’ because of the expense as you experience....The change is 102,386 to 2,573! .....that’s much much more than just taking it off the road. It is taking it out of the state! That, and probably every illegal in the whole damned state finding out where to buy fake registration stickers and/or plates.
I’m on board, you thoughts mirror my own.
I was just in San Francisco this past week and only saw one Prius. Gee, I expected everyone to be driving Volts.
There’s some beautiful countryside..but some very stupid people who allowed this to happen. Let the Hollywodd 1%’ers bail them out.
Hey, but we are drinking more in Cali, I can attest to that.
Many American corporations are currently in a “Eat your own stock” mode of drawing down everything and anything they can. Less inventory, fewer employees, less risk. They are hunkering down in the hopes of weathering the Øbozo storm.
If he is reelected expect to see failures and bankruptcies explode exponentially.
Romney will back a bailout I think, just like the way he “saved” the Olympics will large infusions of federal cash.
“Californians are counting on a bailout”
The 0bama regime would only consider helping CA if it were a swing state. It`s forever locked in the basement of the democrat plantation, and its 55 EVs are guaranteed, so there`s no incentive for 0bama to ride in to the rescue.
Actually there is some of that in your correct statement too. I have had three trailer license plates stolen off trailers over the last few years. I assume people use them on their vehicles showing the current year sticker in place to avoid being pulled over. But there HAS to be some number mistake in that graph . . . i can't imagine a fall-off of that magnitude in registration fees. Yikes !
