The important lesson here is : California Problem + a few years = US problem. We are seeing US budget problem being played out for 2019.

July 5, 2009 at 8:58 AM #425383CoronitaParticipantI smell a business opportunity here….For folks that give a cash advance at a steep discount of the face value of the IOU….The longer CA drags this out, the more cash strapped folks with those IOU’s will be.
I wouldn’t be surprised if folks/company with cash start offering cash to holders of those IOUs in exchange for those IOUs being purchased at a significant discount.
For instance, suppose J6p has an IOU for $2000. Assuming it would be transferrable, why not offer cash-strapped J6P $1300 cash in exchange for the IOU? While it’s seems like a shitty thing to do, it’s really a win-win proposition for j6p….J6p gets to continue to live paycheck to paycheck, and the person offering the cash gets a premium for taking on the risk in case CA defaults and those IOUs aren’t redeemable
Hell, folks can even advertise this on craigslist and or on those websites that attempts to raise money for 3rd world countries (appropriate, since we’re definitely heading that direction !)
You can extrapolate this to businesses that have a nice big IOU too who need to meet payroll and bills.
I don’t see this doom and gloom…In fact, as shitty as it sounds, I think it creates opportunity.

July 5, 2009 at 9:59 AM #425393Nancy_s soothsayerParticipantThe apathy of the masses seems to bolster the hubris of the government “servants for the public good”. For as long as the salaries and pensions are being doled out to highly paid “public servants”, they don’t care if the next guy is experiencing depression times. There should be a mass-initiated proposition that until a balanced budget is passed, your legislature and state servants should not get their salary. That would make them pass a budget in a New York minute.
