It's BACK! And in California, too.

Considering that commiefornia already has energy problems, it never ceases to amaze me that they continue to cut off body parts to stop the bleeding.

First it is the finger tip because of a hangnail, then cut the finger off because the tip is bleeding, then the hand off because the hand is bleeding, then at the elbow, then....

Unfortunately the rest of the country is going to bleed to death because of these idiots. Like others have said, regardless as to how stupid they are, they are one state and part of these United States and as such will not be allowed to fail, no matter how much blood has to be shed, real or imaginary.

 

[mrjarrell]

That's my point. No one, especially the Federal government is going to let them fail.

They're already failing, along with Illinois and many other states. This really won't make a bit of difference in that equation. It might serve to speed things up, but the final result is writ in stone already.

True. It's only a matter of time before california and municipalities begin to default on their bonded debt.

I am OK with CA killing ITS economy. Let them drive business out of the state. Those jobs are more than welcome here and in other states I'm sure. As far as I am concerned that state can't fall into the ocean soon enough.

The problem is that once the host is destroyed, the viruses infecting that state will simply flee to another victim and attempt to infect it/them with the same ills.

How come other states dont find out whats killing Cali and stop doing the same damned thing Cali is doing?

We did! We have a surplus. Wait! A surplus!? Why won't they give it back?

Cap and Trade for chemicals has been in LA for years, I remember all the issues that anybody who used solvents had with it. The result was exactly as expected, some industry left for good, some reduced thier emissions by changing process and passed those costs incured on to thier customers. Others bought emissions and also passed on costs.

The real winners were local political sharpies with connections and inside info on the law, who bought up the VOC emissions of business that were closing or moving and then resold them at huge profits to people who had to have them. These costs were of course passed on to people like you and me. After kicking back to thier government buddies these people made millions overnight.

Cap and Trade is just another totally corrupt enviroscheme that provides a niagra of cash for the politically connected at the expense of everybody else. It is a lie told to justify theft.

We're saving it for a "rainy day" such as a major disaster here in the State. Or, if the Dems get their way, we're going to **** it away on "education"

8th largest economy...and how much of what they produce (dollar value) do they spend on utterly ridiculous bullcrap? If they produce 10% of the GDP but suck away 15% to pay for their stupidity, it's still -5%.

Excellent point, sir! +1 to ya!

Opops! I have to Obama my points around some first.

I don't get it

Right you are. Businesses are fleeing Illinois and California, shrinking their tax base, and setting up shop in Texas. So, let's make it harder to do business...yeah, that's the ticket. The brain drain will have a permanent, lasting effect.

Darn it seems as if the same people that came up with the "Fast and Furious" program have worked out a plan for California!!!

A matter of time before they implode. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

I, for one, fully support a faster destruction of their economy. They were going to do it anyway: I might as well bear the burden of paying for the morons instead of my children or grandchildren.

The trouble is they will be here eventually will all their crazy regulations. They can't ever figure out that things they do are destructive to their own state and keep getting naive sheep to go along with them. I am telling you 4 more years of our current administration and we will have nothing left including our bill of rights. The trouble is they will make it part of a bureau or something with regulations that never have to go before Congress and can't be taken before the courts so we are in trouble. So far all this talk about being green is only making things much more expensive.
