Is California Boned?

Remember this post from a few months ago? Well, things are sliding from bad to worse to doomed.

As the Governator declares a state of fiscal emergency over legislator's inability to balance the California budget without raising taxes or brutally cutting programs, pundits say the state has no one to blame but itself.

This is going to keep getting worse before it gets better. The situation is bad.

The state that begat anti-government governor (and later U.S.president) Ronald Reagan is reaping its long-sowed karma. And it's more proof that the crazy, get-rid-of-government right-wing politics popular for the last 40 years--which go far, far beyond what used to be considered conservative--don't work.

Once again, I'm glad I live in Canada.
