And it doesn’t appear it is going to pass in a SINGLE county.

The state of CA is out of control. What's sad is the rest of us are going to end up paying for it at some point.

You might, unfortunately, be correct. I think this sums it up nicely:

California is completely, totally, irreparably hosed.

Of course, I could say the same about New York.

MA, NJ and NH I believe are right behind CA and NY when it comes to getting bailouts down the road. Not surprising is the fact that those 5 states are some of the most 'liberal' in the Union.

And the newspaper industry wonders why it is in trouble:

I don’t have the time to read them all but the comments to this editorial are vicious.

EDIT: I just double checked the direct link (which I do before I post things) and it doesn't seem to work anymore. To bad. It now seems they have removed the editorial from their site. It was entitled Editorial: You did it! Uh, so what now? It now seems to be replaced with this:

Edit: Thanks to the comment section to the revised editorial of the Bee the original editorial position can be found here:

I've Heard Voters' Anger say the Gov. I bet nothing changes. CA will continue to spend knowing the Federal Idiots will make the rest of us pay.
