I live in SoCal:
The pot holes continue to deepen and previously initiated road work ontinues, at about 1/3 speed.
The planned for, and partially funded, "natural" recreation center (on otherwise condemned land) has died and libraries are being closed.
As far as I know, no clerks or functionaries have been laid off.
No one has lost a nickle of welfare.
City officials continue to collect salaries and get raises.
The entire state continues to race toward bankruptcy.
What's not to like?

This is the way public servants punish the public when it doesn’t pay enough taxes.
