This is what California needs to do: "The government, which is desperately trying to bridge a yawning budget deficit, decided late on Thursday to slash public-sector pay by 20 percent and pensions and family allowances by 10 percent, and not to raise taxes."
It's do-able.

I'm wondering if the big "O" team would do anything other than sneer at the idea that they need to cut back?

Arrogant pricks, one and all.

Huh. The unions plan to strike if the cuts are imoplimented.
I guess they're too brain-dead from living so high off the hog. I guess they'd rather have all of nothing (if the state goes bankrupt) rather then half of something.

Idiots.

B&N - I think for the Obamatrons, the power of the Unions is still a good thing - their physical ability to menace is still useful, until it's time for a Reichstag fire, then under the bus they go.
B Woodman - all of nothing or something for nothing? Either way it's bad.

At least one liberal MSM pundit is now calling for all of the hatemongers to be rounded up. They'll need the unions to help out with that.

Huh, how strange that cutting taxes,controlling spending,and in general shrinking the size of the government saves money and balances your budget.

It is doubly interesting that a recovering USSR-block country that used to be behind the Iron Curtain can figure that out, Conservative Scalawag, and our government - the very government that brought down the USSR - cannot.

I guess it is encouraging to know that other countries might be able to pick up our pieces...

Unions,vested interests and the left in general even when facing disaster will always believe that somehow taxing somebody else will save them.

How California ended up the way it did, I will never truly know.

Criminey.
