No money... no spend.. no taxes.. no money for the illegals sucking the gov't teat dry. DIMS never learn. Don't come to my state asking for a handout for your stupidity I do not approve of. I did not take them on to raise. [/quote] Us Californians didn't take you on to raise either, but we are and have been doing it. Take a look at how much federal tax money flows out of Cali and how much of it we actually get back! Ignorant, educate yourselves! [/quote]

California Sales Tax Revenues Nosedive By 33.5%
The state has avoided default by temporarily borrowing from state trust funds, but those accounts will soon need their cash back to continue operating. Today California quickly began trying to sell $10 billion in municipal bonds to fund the record $28 billion they need to keep the lights on. With tax revenue plummeting and the state already the second lowest rated credit in the country, if the independent credit rating agencies downgrade the state to “junk bond”, California will be short up to $18 billion and default.
