How about every suit brought by the Prison Law Office (PLO) representing CDCR inmates, which eventually resulted in the prison health care receivership? At least a couple billion over the past 5 years. Also, the Williams suit which required the state to pay for schools that haven’t done basic maintenance for years? Not trying to argue, but I have been doing this for quite awhile and the state does not win, especially when represented by the state’s attorneys.
Note that the “furlough” win did not address the question of constitutional officers, like the AG, who normally represents the state in legal challenges. When the Governor’s office hires outside counsel at $400/hour, it wins. But most of the time, the state “hires” the AG, as required by law, and doesn’t win.

February 18, 2009 at 5:25 AM #348687AnonymousGuestIt is obvious that as the government grows, private industry recedes. Government does not produce wealth but consumes it. Government is now around 40% of the economy and growing. When government becomes 50% or more the economy is doomed and will never come back. the way to get out of this is for the government to get out of employment, schools, medicine, etc.
Government interference in the form regulatory costs alone are draining 1.5T from the economy. You can see the numbers here:

Lawyers are the other problem, we have the most per capita and what do we have to show for it? The worst performance by pretty much any measure. Is there any mystery here? We have to get the lawyers out of politics, they don’t understand math, they can’t balance their checkbooks, they don;t produce anything, they are a complete drain on an economic system.
Once 50% of the country realizes that they will benefit by the work of others (refusing to work) and the other 50% that is working realizes that they are supporting the other half of the country, we will not be a country very much longer.
