SACRAMENTO—The California Senate has shut down for the night after failing to approve a stopgap plan to stave off the need for IOUs and ease the state's $24.3 billion budget deficit."

The 8th largest economy in the world is officially insolvent.

Funny, trillions of dollars for banks yet welfare people will get IOU's that banks may or may not cash.

Pretty pathetic.

our jobless rate was shit before this whole downturn so we haven't been hit that much harder than anyone else. A bunch of goddamned lazy loggers and mill losers, too stupid or crippled to get new jobs. and we do have a bunch of dirty hippies up north and they're mostly cali transplants. and there not enough money in weed anymore for the large scale operations. it's mostly meth now. at least we've got a semifunctional govt and a nice buffer between us and mexico.

Surely the loss of Michael Jackson was the Coup de grace on the Californae Economy

Anyway, America has no concept of being bankrupt/having no money. You're not truly bankrupt until you literally can't afford anything, in the mean time you guys will still build massive infrastructure projects, build tons of F-22 fighter jets and fund giant lasers that shoot down missiles.

All I'm saying is you guys constantly talk about being bankrupt and having no money, yet you clearly do have pretty much an infinite amount of money if you're allowed to do all these bailouts and continue to fund massive programs and do all sorts of crazy shit

Sell more guns to drug-cartels affiliates in Mexico might alleviate the crisis.

Kmar: Truth is my Bitch; +5,695|6893|132 and Bush

Small businesses that received $682 million in IOUs from the state say California expects them to pay taxes on the worthless scraps of paper, but refuses to accept its own IOUs to pay debts or taxes. The vendors’ federal class action claims the state is trying to balance its budget on their backs.

Lead plaintiff Nancy Baird filled her contract with California to provide embroidered polo shirts to a youth camp run by the National Guard, but never was paid the $27,000 she was owed. She says California “paid” her with an IOU that two banks refused to accept - yet she had to pay California sales tax on the so-called “sale” of the uniforms.

You owe us taxes on those IOUs

They also are going door to door to every small business to conduct sales tax audits. If you are behind and can't pay they can order you to lock your doors, like they are doing in Rhode Island.

It goes like this;
Commodities and housing bubbles
NAFTA and GAT and cap and trade
Bailouts
Collapse of tax base
Reckless government spending anyway
Collapse of services provided by local governments
Riots, civil unrest and malnutrition
Dictartorship

I am sad, this is very bad and exploding before our eyes.

I must now renounce all objection to Obama and will begin blogging government talking points as I may need a job and am interested in the Internment and Resettlement jobs program the national guard is hiring for.

People should trust our leaders to do what they believe is right. Bush supporters had their eight years, and should be advised they may be on The List.

Resistance is futile.

No more IOU's, grape.

"California Controller John Chiang said the state's new spending plan means that IOUs will stop being issued Sept. 4."

A budget like the one in place now will fail.

They are insane.
