Every few months California State Government will get into another budget crisis. They raise some more taxes, add fees, borrow some more money to be paid back when (if) the economy improves and cut some services. Then a few months later officials announce that the revenue estimates were wrong and the State is billions short again.

How many months will pass when California State Officials again will announce that they are short of money again and need to pass a new budget? They will say revenues are coming in below expectations and they need to add some more taxes and fees and do some more cutting.

When will this game end?

So what is your point?
Post after post complaining about California, do you live in California?
What would you have them do?
If it is that bad why haven't you joined the imaginary exodus of Californians to go somewhere else?

For all it's problems California is a nicer place than most
