I have to wonder just how long it’s going to take the rest of the country to figure out that following the “California” example is a foolish direction. Here it is June 30th, and tomorrow this state begins issuing IOU’s for any debts and obligations. Barring a late-night rescue by our HEAVILY Democrat-majority legislature, the state will be insolvent.
This has been a long time coming. Many of our loony legislators have the idea in their heads that Californica (let’s call a spade a spade, shall we ?) should lead the nation and provide an example for others to follow…and that would be great if we were talking about energy production, or business revenue, or school scores. But no.
Our knuckleheads think that State government can provide a shining light to the Green frontier. They are militantly anti-car, anti-oil, anti-grocery bag, anti-personal freedom. Amazing ! Here we have a state with a 24 Capital B-BILLION dollar deficit, and the legislators (I’m talking Democrats here) have the audacity to think We The People should pay for it…thank God for the Republicans, who are holding the line and not allowing ANY new taxes.
You would think, now that they have forced Californica emissions standards on the entire country, that we could perhaps disband the CA Air Resources Board, whose budget is over $625,000,000 this year ALONE. Since this is now a Federal area, shouldn’t that expense also be Federal ? Oh, I see…we have to pay BOTH of you…
And as far as “Cap & Trade”…(HR2454, or the “Climate Change” bill)…well, we had our own version of THAT, too, known as the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006…look HARD, America, at what has happened to businesses and taxes in this state before doing this nationally. Businesses, Families, and even the illegal aliens who work for them are FLEEING the state because it is just too expensive to exist here.
Our state legislators think they are visionary, but they’re creating a public nightmare. Our Senators are Socialists. Our students have sunk to almost LAST in national test scores; our taxpayers carry nearly the highest tax burden in the country. And our illegal alien population is one of the best cared-for in the United States.
It’s time to JUST SAY NO to California, people. Nothing good is entering the public arena from this locale. You need to consider persons like myself, who have unfortunately lost control of our state and don’t want to see the same thing happen to our nation. YOU have to stop this, YOU have to be the ones who say NO…YOU have to be the ones who take back control of our country…because if you don’t…well, you’ll just have to BEND OVER AND TAKE IT !
