That is crock #1 and the reason we can't get help from neighboring states. Our gas taxes are the highest so it is ,indeed,melt down mode. In a few weeks there are many ballot measures to vote on :They are tax increase after tax increase. Many are not going to drive to work =net loss.No leadership in Sacramento or at any government entity . Their only answer is to raise taxes. Yes,it's over. Quoting: Black Diamond 20028740 Yeah youd think these tree huggers believe the air in Ca stays in Ca...Az and Nv get all our cleaner air and we get chinas really dirty air...this is what happens when the leaders have their heads in their asses!!!

Captain Spaulding User ID: 24590107 United States 10/04/2012 10:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nothing. Just another excuse to bash the GOOD people of California. Seems like it. there's good and bad no matter where you go. I don't like where I'm at temporarily, but I've met a hell of a lot of great people. I grew up in Chicago, went to school in Santa Barbara, then worked in Hollywood in the art department in the film biz for 14 years, the back to SB where I owned my own business and had a great life. I got lucky and had a lot of good friends. Met and married my wife, a native Californian and we split, but we're like brother and sister. I had some of the best experiences of my life there. Memories I never would have had if I didn't venture out and see a different way. I helped rescue a baby whale, got ordained and married a couple on the beach at sunset, scuba dove at the Channel Islands (mostly San Miguel), There's good and and bad everywhere. I guess I just got lucky. |

They can't operate and are shut down. Quoting: Black Diamond 20028740 The gas shortage in the early 70's was not a shortage but a price of oil problem...Hey thats about when all the musslin terror attacks started...Hum?

The haters don't get it that we feed and clothe them from over here on the west coast, in the form of paying in more federal taxes than many other states combined. California not only gives illegals welfare, it gives it to the rest of the country as well! No wonder we're broke! |

I really had some great times living on the west side. But I could afford it because of the work I did. I've considered moving to Prescott though. Love to hike, archery and now I completely changed and work with dogs and there seems to be a lot there. We'll see. |

Their Taxes pay for a lot of the US Federal Budget. We've all been focused on the EU and Asia's budget crisis but what if the first global economy to fall is actually California? The Gov't could trigger a strategic global financial crisis, and then reset Cali with a stimulus, but at the same time watch other economies crumble in wake of the fall.

Herman The Kid User ID: 16577681 United States 10/04/2012 11:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No. I posted this on the first page. No one noticed. This is where the problem started (specific to CA). [link to www.slate.com] I would rethink that statement Herman... Too many factors against the gas industry. Ethanol suspended production. Mid-east crises about to get real ugly. Russian pipeline about to be closed. Gulf region not producing. National supply shipped to military installations. Venezuala suspending imports. See the real big picture. Happy Holidays .... I agree with the factual statements you made. My point was that BS regulation (including the ethanol mandates) caused the decrease in supply/shortage. There are several factors but from within our own country, we have destroyed any competitive advantage we might have had. Disgusting. Good on you for your wise and well thought-out thoughts. You m-m-m-muh-make me HAAA-PEEE. Psalm 34:14 - Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. Romans 5:8 - But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. |
