RW, I'll bet if CA were more of a "swing state," Obama would have bailed us out without even thinking about it. Right now the CA legislators are thinking about high cost short-term borrowing to get us out of this mess, but Ah-nuld will have none of it. Meanwhile the SEIU is going to spend a million dollars on ads to prevent cutting the pay of home service workers from $12.10/hr to $10.10/hr. The protests they held in LA were also highly publicized and highly staged. You gotta wonder where they're getting the money from. Tenchusatsu

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The White House on Tuesday dashed hopes that the federal government would help California overcome a mammoth budget crisis that has brought the state dangerously close to an economic meltdown, saying California will have to solve the problem on its own. "It's obviously not an easy time for the state of California," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told a briefing when asked if the administration would provide emergency financing for the state. "We'll continue to monitor the challenges that they have, but this budgetary problem unfortunately is one that they're going to have to solve," Gibbs said. Good. The people of CA must suffer the consequences of their actions. They are behaving like children.
