The criminal Oil Companies could be nationalized if you would stop voting for their Demopublican puppets--like Obama...McCain...and Clinton.

Prinzowhales is a Ron Paul supporter actually, plus he has no time for the Dems or the GOP.

In the S&L scandal, the California housing market had been boosted to then record levels by speculators in collusion with the banks...they would by houses and then simply raise the price...and they did this on credit...it was pure finance capitalism at work...a swindle of Biblical proportion...like the finance capital swindle of Enron...the current swindle...and the oil and food swindle.

Unlike this community, the Washington Regime has a printing press to create its own money with the connivance of the private bankers who garner billions in Usury through the mechanism of the IRS.

On another economic note...As America imports ******** for the pleasure of paying their medical bill, housing them in our jails and putting up with their quaint diseases such as drug resistant strains of TB...our refineries are selling diesel fuel to Mexico which sells for $2 a gallon...

Typical! The leftwing way, no personal responsibility, it''s always someone elses fault, justify actions by blaming others, everything runs in a gray area, an entire suburb can run from debt without true justification, the leftwing San Fransisco way.

Politicians say it''s no big deal about losing jobs. People will get jobs elsewhere (read: McDonalds or Burger King). One thing these pols need to remember: You can''t pay taxes if you don''t have an income!!!

I suspect many towns have been hurt by the closures.

SF has made it plainly clear that they do not like the military. They are also a ''sanctuary city'' thumbing their nose at upholding federal law.

SF and surrounding areas deserve everything they''re getting. Tourism is down and they are going broke. And I. for one, am happy to see it. Maybe the ''Green Party'' can smoke some pot and come up with solutions. HA!

Typical of Republicans... stupid with money.

Flamming libeals it''s not 1994 it''s 2008 and your hero''s, the subject of this story, the Democrats proved once again they can''t run anything.

It wasn''t mentioned in the article, but I think Vallejo lost an important US Air Force Base (Fairfield AFB) when all the downsizing began. If I remember correctly, that base was a major transportation terminal.

I suspect many towns have been hurt by the closures.

Actually, the demise of Orange County in 1994 was a joint effort between a Democrat and the Republican controlled county.

County Treasurer Bob Citron, a Democrat, made the stupid financial moves in sole control of the failed investing strategy. It was his job as an elected official. So a Democrat is primarily responsible for the disaster.

In all fairness the rest of the county, controlled by Repoublicans who benefited temporarily from the vapor gains, ignored common sense. If you claim ignorance and allow something wrong to continue you are complicit. Republicanse absolutely share the blame.
