Default Down We Go

Sales tax revenue goes down. Chance of a California default goes up. Spin this you guys who always say that you see no problems:

California Sales Tax Revenue Drops 33.5%

Failed policies from a one-party legislature. Any chance that we can turn this mess around before you guys drag us all down?

Not to worry. I'm sure the gov will think of someone else to tax to fix it.

I'm surprised they haven't raised the car tax. Mine's just starting to get more reasonable again.

Got to get some common sense into CA government. But how? Most people don't care. Aren't paying attention to anything beyond Dancing With The Stars. Worst are those who have the brain cells to see what's happening and still defend these failed policies. Let's screw business. Let's screw the rich. Screw the other guy any way we can.

I can't imagine how this will turn out well. But spinmeisters have at it. Everything is cool - right?

The people running the state are the ones who partied a little too much in the 60/70's. Acid has no shelf life, it is always there. LOL
And Arnold was a Democrat in Republican clothing. Regardless, people are finally starting to take notice on retirement funds, for example. Whoever signed these types of contracts to where a person makes more after retiring was smoking some serious stuff.

Don’t worry the majority of Californians will be doing a keg stand to get their fill of Flavor Aid aka taxes this fall.

Pretty soon those Californians who say they'd rather be homeless and living in a tent city with no police or fire departments in sunny California than working for a living in another state will show up to make their posts. All is fine.
