How far is Cali in debt now? And they can spend money on this. Simply maddening. And of course the left cheers on spending others money. Pathetic
"Others" money? Who is "others?" You think i wanted to spend a dime on wars in the last 25 years? Hell, i didn't even want to spend on Desert Storm.

Do you live in a state that has never spent a dime of "others" money?

No you don't. So again, stop whining.

You reap the benifits of those wars even though your not smart enough to realize it. Where do you think all the money to waste comes from anyway? If the US didn't defend the petro dollar you wouldn't be worrying about your his speed rail to get around SF however the hell you plan on doing that.

Here is some perspective...........

Gov. Jerry Brown, disclosing the development in a
video posted on YouTube, said that California’s shortfall was now projected to be $16 billion, up from $9.2 billion in January.

Have been taking the train a lot lately to DC, we need high speed rail. Imagine going from DC to New York in a matter of a couple hours (outside of flight).

Yep. EVERYTHING new that comes along has to viciously opposed. It's always new is bad, and old is better. That's why this whole idea with the Tea Party and all that being some revolution is such a joke. They are obsessed with keeping the status quo.

Just once, can we try something different without them kicking and screaming?
