Comments on: Is California Too Big To Fail?

Declan McCullagh: Golden State, In Danger Of Economic Collapse, Turns To Federal Government For Help

[myfuelie62]

If California is too big to fail, then maybe it needs to be split into 2 states, North California and South California just like we have North and South Carolina and North and South Dakota.

If a bank is too big to fail because it will have a negative impact on the economy, then why can't it be treated as a monopoly, and by law, be required to be split up into smaller parts so that no one part can damage the economy?

There are enough Republicans in the state legislature to block anything. This is why they are the party of NO. When you call people "nit wits" it just shows what a hopeless, idiotic jerk you are.

"contribute so little while expecting so much..."

California has the 6th largest economy in the world. It has to do a lot to be in that position. California contributes more to the Federal government than it receives, so I do not know what you mean by expect so much. That is just more of Reagan waste, fraud and abuse welfare cheat lies. Reagan brought in more waste, fraud and abuse to the Pentagon contracts than anyone else.

"..support a state with failed immigration policies.."

States do not have immigration policies, that is in the hands of the Federal Government. The one that has been run for the last 8 years by Bush.

You are so totally whacked out that you live in your own little world. You make up all the stories that you and other like you want to believe and ignore the facts and good analysis by the experts. Go back to telling lies to others like you that want to belive them. You are part of a cult of self deception that will never recover from your illness.

Any group or state that allows others to join it with little or no requirements / standards for those joining, is bound to fail.

Let California fall off into the ocean and be done with it.

CA. is able to bail itself out... if it just charges $1000.00 to everyone that speaks any thing but english!

Agreed, but make it 10,000 to cover the cost of deporting them afterwards!

Here's a solution for every failing state:
Tax the Churches!
They are profit-making businesses.
Not taxing churches is NOT separation of Church and State!

The problem with CA is not the Democrats or Republicans remeber they have had REpublican governors more then Democrtic one. The problem is people they got used to borrow and spend now they are paying along with the entire country. Like it or not that is what states do the same as the fed they borrow and spend.

This is not a us vs them it is we are in a sinking boat and no one really has the answer it is never easy. And no you can not solve ever thing with lower taxes and smaller government (see above as to why).
