you mean should tax money confiscated from people who dont live in California, be given to California to make up for the funds it stole and misappropriated from Californians? NO.
Ah, yes. Another ditto-head, brain-dead, California-bashing thread.
The only people talking about bailing out California are right-wing nut-jobs who live to hate California and everything associated with it. I've not heard one elected official in California suggest that the federal government should "bail out" the state.
By the way, Texas has the third-largest debt in the country, following California and New York. Vermont as the smallest debt. Connecticut has the most debt on a per capita level.
No..let them wallow in their own sh*t. The more I read the more angry I got.
In 10 years their pension liabilities quadrupled as they lowered retirement ages and upped pensions.
And they talk of how many city workers retire at 50 with 6 digit pension checks.
No..they made bad decisions and now they will have to deal with them one way or another.
No, do what Canada did. Fire a ton of government employees, don't honor most of the pensions gotten from political contributions and then cut the hell out of social programs not directed at the elderly or disabled.
There you go.
Nobody wants to hear we need to shrink government. Time IMO to shrink the beast or to turn over to the government all your personal assets. That is the choice.
They have instituted far left fiscal policies that, in the event of a bailout, would just prolong the problem. Any money given to California would be blown quickly, and we would have the same mess in one to two years.
What California needs is a governmental policy change (much like the federal government) in which they cannot spend massive amounts of money on pensions, illegal immigrants, and failed social programs.
