That was a hoot. We're going to save Citigroup but let California go under? Right.

Skeeter, CA is the test case for liberal thinking. In my ideal world, places like CA would have the opportunity to govern as they choose, but other states would have the freedom from federal government to do as they please. Then as Americans, we could look at the successes/failures, pack our bags, and move to the state whose politics and other benefits/shortcomings match our values. The problem is that the left won't allow that experiment to take place because it knows that system would produce some winners and losers but they would govern most of the biggest losers. Instead, they want things to be implemented at the federal level to drag us all down the same idealistic ditch. I feel bad for you. I've visited CA a few times and it's a beautiful place, but I've never seen a bigger collection of economic knuckleheads in my life. (To be clear, I realize theye are some horrible republicans in CA also, but they are clearly RINOs and my point is not about republican vs. democrat. It is about economic policy and political organization).
