Report: California on 'Verge of System Failure'

Think of it as Greece on the Pacific: A place with beautiful scenery where the government spent so far beyond its means that mass layoffs, welfare reductions that leave a million children and the poor and elderly without needed services and failing infrastructure are now the norm.

California’s fiscal hole reportedly is now so large that the state would have to free 168,000 prison inmates and permanently close 240 university and community college campuses to balance its budget in the fiscal year that begins July 1.

“We are on the verge of system failure,â€

This is what happens when the #@$@$@$ far left nut bags are running things!! Makes me want to run away screaming into the night! Get rid of all these scumbags and never let them get back into running anything!

That sounds exactly like the conditions I was raised in---except we didn't get the government assistance.
