Tim, so you think we - the users of the money - will pay it back? pass the crack pipe! no way we ever balance the budget, let alone pay it down. we've stolen money from people not yet born by spending it and forcing them to pay interest and pay it back. btw, california has had a 30% increase in revenues since arnold took office. they claim it isn't enough and want to raise taxes. i don't support the tax increase. it won't solve any problems since the problems are management related. my son gets an excellent private school education for less than $6k per year. the public schools get $11k per student... and we all know how badly most california schools suck. again, there is no answer - government will rape and pillage you, corporations will rape and pillage you and your predecessors will rape and pillage you. this is the fundamental flaw in humanity... that we lack humanity. we will fail in any attempts to right this sinking ship - the only question is timing.
