California

[Tommy Gun]

From the Wall Street Journal:

Facing a $21 billion shortfall through June 2011, California leaders want billions of dollars in budget relief from Washington that could head off deep cuts expected to state programs.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will ask the White House to waive rules that require the state to spend its own money on certain programs to receive federal funds, according to California officials briefed on the Republican's coming budget proposal.

This is a perfect example of the failings of liberal, big goverment policies. Stay tuned, there will be more to come. :mad:

California just needs to legalize Marijuana (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/28/us/28pot.html) and place a tax on it.

California is totally in the grip of the state employee's unions. They refuse to budge 1 inch. The exact same thing is happening up here. State employees average $20,000 more per year than the average private sector position and they are refusing to take pay cuts, or even pay freezes in this economy. :(
