Also if you haven't read Monty's thread on bonds, you better give it a look. Especially if you are a California Tax Payer. If you people are not calling your state rep and demanding to know how in the hell they are going to repay all the short term debt they are currently selling then you get what you deserve.

Would good would it do? The average person (or more realistically 95% of) Californians haven't the slightest idea what a bond is, how it works, what the purpose is, how the funds are transacted, what the benefits are and what the risks are.

But, they can tell you all about the latest movie star divorce or how many paychecks it will take to get the latest rims on their car.

Isn't a bond when someone gives us free money so we can buy anchor babies milk and build a choo-choo to nowhere?

What's nonsense is your post. Did you even read a small portion of what I posted? Probably not.
