What to do when your State is bankrupt and Democrats in the legislature refuse to own up to this fact – from the Associated Press:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday ordered about 200,000 state workers to be paid the federal minimum wage this month because the state Legislature has not passed a budget.
Department of Personnel Administration Director Debbie Endsley sent the order in a letter to the state controller, who refused a similar order two years ago and may try to do the same thing this time. Most state employees will be paid the federal minimum of $7.25 per hour for the July pay period…
California has no money – the bottom is truly out of the tub in that State, and yet the Democrats refuse to make the deep and permanent cuts to spending necessary to just put the fiscal house in order, let alone set the stage for an economic revival.
California is the richest State in the nation – having one of the best educated populations of the 50 States, and vast, little used natural resources…but unbroken Democrat governance in the legislature and RINOism in the governor’s mansion (Schwarzenegger bears a large measure of responsibility for the mess, too – but at least he’s finally awake to what is happening) have managed to destroy California.
What happened to California is what Obama wants to have happen to the whole country – keep that in mind as we go through 2010 and 2012.
