So, Why Can't California Get It Done?
 
Californians would have the rest of the country believe that they're suffering more than the rest of us as the result of their budget woes. There's some evidence to the contrary, particularly in states like Michigan. Here's an article from a recent issue of The New York Times...

And here's a chart from the article. How would your household do if your income was sliced in half as has happened in Michigan since the year 2000? C'mon, California, deal with it. You won't be able to live the sweet life as you have in the past. Cut...and then cut some more. Like Michigan has had to do.

By the way...this is what should be happening in Washington, as well.

California has the largest public pension system in the world. It is also very generous. I wish I could find the link that I had the other day. There are people collecting over a half million dollars a year from the fund. Here is one link and id I find the other one ..I will post it.
