NSBR: Did anyone see this: California may seek Treasury financing?

Here at Yahoo news (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081003/us_nm/us_california_loan).

Thoughts?

I'm just cracking up. I really don't have any thoughts other than that everyone thinks the US Congress sucks, well, our great leaders and our Actor of a governor have driven this State into the ground. They were over 80 days late passing the budget this year. Arnie threatened to pass over 400 bills if the stupid Legislators didn't come to some sort of decision. 80 days late!!!! My agency had to take out a loan to cover personnel from July through October (we're state funded). Freakin' ridiculous.

Honestly, I don't think people are taking the problems in California seriously enough, if the California gov't collapses, and the California economy tanks, do you know what that would do to the rest of the nation?

Someone help me over the border, please? Hahahahahah!!! JK, really, I'm just kidding!!

Great. So... states should be independent except when they need a bailout? ;)

[txmusicmom]
