This state makes "batsh!t crazy" look like "got my sh!t together".

I really, truly, hope we can take this state to bankruptcy faster than ever before. In fact, I've got a lobby meeting to get to to promote higher wages for any & all state agency workers as well as teachers and county & municipal employees.

6 figure pensions for all!!!!

Hey how did the Wall Street Journal do on predicting the financial collapse?

Just wondering.

You mean these woeful, ailing folks? :cool:

Best 10 States Total Unfunded Liabilities Debt Load:

South Dakota= $268,276,000
Idaho= $1,211,621,000
Wisconsin= $1,952,996,000
Vermont= $2,076,132,000
Montana= $2,181,421,000
Tennessee= $3,349,681,000
Delaware= $5,409,600,000
New Hampshire= $5,576,363,000
Maine= $7,129,875,000
Mississippi= $8,481,525,000

All those state together don't even come close to California's population or can even smell the distant lingering effects of when CA's economy lays a fart.

But ya, nice comparison.

Most Californians already know this but.......

You might wanna jump off the prop 13 drain train in future arguments against California's revenue problem. ;)

Man you are a mile a minute with silly information.

So California ranks in top 5 (or higher depending on how you measure) in average home prices yet only 15th in property taxes revenue?

You might want to jump on the reality train.

Idaho has a very robust economy.

Uhhh....ya, no.

The quote you snipped is about as optimistic as I could imagine to argue without sounding boastful. (thus the reason I quoted the article in the first place).

And I can only assume you would appreciate a #1 position as the only liberally satisfactory excuse for something like prop 13 in the aggregate, eh? (because of the almost certain premise that the rest of Cali's tax revenue must be pitifully low, right?) :whiste:

Here's some more silly information for you to brush up on to keep the voices down.... ;)

All aboard----- http://www.caltax.org/research/calrank.html

First you accuse me of something I didnt say (CA has low taxes...er what?) then completely ignored my main point. Not going to explain the math to you.

Anyway, go back to being mad about losing the election and not getting any cake.

I see that reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

No worries. There's a government app for that! ;)
