[click image]Piece of cake, and no good reason the Governator won't just cave in and do it now. We have been suffering from this poison for long enough. For decades now they have been raising funds through fees because they are terrified of raising taxes, and, of course, by lowering services, cheaping out on whatever they can, while fully endorsing soaring profit margins for the corporate big boys. It's this simple. Problem solved.
It has not only been the Republicans doing this. It's been everyone in State and Local governments, from any party.
Just raise State income tax. End of problem. Pft. Like that!
cutting essential public services and denying health coverage to almost a million children.

Ignoring the predicted problems hitting California, I have to agree with - j o e l y above, the photo of the SF Bay Bridge is awesome, it's an angle most of us are not familiar with.
ReplyDeleteIndeed few of the current elite get to reach such an angle, maybe Huell Howser doing California's Gold among the only I know in recent times, alternatively some ancient documentary of the building of the bridge, or the laying of the cables, the cofferdam shots, and that weird looking cable repair device.
Back to California's problem though, it as I said before it was completely predicted, we knew it was a matter of when, not if it was going to happen. There are those who say, "So goes California and so goes the Nation." Well, it's not exactly accurate, but the United States government will learn the same lesson California is now, not if, but when is the question. Our Senators have made their choices not to regulate the monetary system, and indeed support the fraud. This isn't going to be just some extended recession, it will be the worst depression in our history.
You thought sub-prime was bad? Wait until the prime delinquencies hit. Wait until nobody will purchase US treasury notes and the bond market collapses.
Again, I remind you, not IF, but WHEN...

Another thing, looking at that photo. If ever there was a place to jump from, that would be it.
ReplyDeleteOnce you hop off the ledge from there, it's going to be all over, no turning back.
Okay, don't jump of the bridge. Just commenting...
