[quote=creechrr]I don’t know that this is a rant speficically about California. You could substitute just about any state for California. The nation as a whole in the crapper. I suggest everyone listen for the woosh and prepare for rotation.

This.
NC is basically in the same mode, although (thank gooodness) not to the level of CA just yet. Budget deficit, tax increases to cover shortage, education cutbacks, state gov. layoffs, climbing unemployment rates. Check, check, check, check.
Already they are looking at all sorts of ‘revenue enhancements’ aka taxes to make up a predicted shortfall next year. It’s going to get ugly.
Still no word on really going through the budget and removing the truly unnecessary programs added in the ‘good’ years, just hand wringing and cries of “deep cuts” to “essential services”.
