Try not to tip too much, you might just fall off the cliff.
My recent "barber polls" suggest that voters are planning to vote all of them down.
FTFA- "The California now has the worst bond rating among the 50 states."
Does anyone smell a bond market crash? Gee, Obama should have saved that last $350 Billion stimulus money for the people to buy food, clothing and shelter.
FTFA - "The voters get mad when they vote to spend a ton of money and the legislature can’t then find the money"
Haircut time. What the hell is such legislation doing on a ballot in the first place?
FTFA - "Then comes a barrage of television commercials, junk mail and robo-calls that leave no Californian home unmolested and the great majority confused."
Or like in my case, my fucking mailbox so stuffed full that my fucking videos are late to my show because the USPS decides to leave a PS Form 3849, "Sorry We Missed You" , while simultaneously EMPTYING the fucking slot.
The Fine Article also has some inconsistencies with the truth in my opinion, but hey..it's pretty close to what we are about to face.
Question: What suffers the most throughout history when people are dirt poor?
1. Education 2. Health 3. Crime
I'd argue, the best education we could give Californian's is by shutting down ALL schools until funding can be restored. You want change? Let a generation of kids grow up and eventually become angered about their delayed education. I guarantee education will be fixed by them. Health care is a nightmare for life expectancy, while many will die perhaps the realization that it's finally it's time to legalize weed to people over 21.
I'm sick of voting for the money to fund all this shit and having them use the money on other shit and then come back sniveling about this shit again while they've done fuck-all to stop the pillage by financiers. They, none of them, NEED salaries anymore, with all the perks they get, and they can damn well start managing things intelligently and EQUITABLY or we can all sit here bankrupt together.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately
Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them. —Old Uncle Dave
As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country. —Pat Buchanan
Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids. —Scott Horton
There has to be altruism in the universe. —Frank Drake
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome. —Paul Craig Roberts
I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world." —Chris Floyd
The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below. —Howard Zinn
...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable. —Matt Taibbi
· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.
· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.
· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.
Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further. —Ted Rall
As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice. —Michael Parenti
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton

Of course I am always wrong about something.

Yeah, the sad fact, is if government breaks due to a bond market crash, we suffer from it.
