State sinking in sea of red

The news just gets worse. As a dysfunctional Legislature continued to bicker over a budget that is bleeding red ink by the billions of barrels, California's bond rating dropped two notches to BBB, a reflection, in one rating agency's opinion, of fears the state is slipping further into economic chaos.

I think the legislators, the governator, and all their hangerons should lose their perdiem,cars, offices,and wages,and payments to their pensions,until they get the budget done and signed.See how they like paying taxes ,taxis,and food with their own cash, or try to use an IOU to go to the store or worse yet the hospital. The executive and legislative branches are useless at compromise, not GOP,DEM.,or IND. need ever apply again for my vote. Everyone of them want some pork barrel, or lack of, to even try to look for a settlement. Then the governor says he won 't sign it anyway. so much for compromise.

[Yep]

Its gettin pretty bad and the sheep keep sleeping on through.
