This Is IT! Going to Leave California ASAP!

I have a clue.

A demented, anti-business legislature: removal of the super majority required to raise taxes; and Moonbeam, the former governor who opposed prop 13 - the proposition which kept old people from losing their houses to the taxman.

It will ultimately be "interesting" only to those who milk the system, that is, until the system crashes.

I suppose it's "interesting" that Boxer and Reid has another term in the senate as well.

Well, we didn't make out too well.

Andrew Cuomo trounced Carl Paladino badly for Governor.

Both Senators, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand were re-elected. Gillibrand replaced Hillary Clinton.

All are flaming liberals/Democrats. Perhaps the only thing good is that David Paterson, the blind African American, is gone. Cuomo can't be as bad as he was.

Locally Congressman Eliot Engle was re-elected again. He has a grade report card of F- minus on just about ever issue.

Lamentable we have just too many of the wrong kind of people living here in NY. And that we share with California. Both states also are overrun with illegal aliens and both are running big deficits. Ours is $9 billion.

But I'm not moving. I'll just hunker down and wait it out as usual.

Move to New Mexico ? Isn't Bill Richardson the Governor there ? How could he be better than Moonbeam.

Not any more. They elected a Latina Republican. Her opponent, err, enemy, was Richardson's Lt. Governor.

Yes, Californians have greased the rails to speed up the state's imminent demise.

Quite frankly, given the financial devastation of this state - in terms of what is owed and what industries have been lost (not to mention the taxpayers who had those jobs and left the state), I'm not sure an election could alter the course.

Without a doubt, "Reagan Country" is long gone. It has been replaced by a left-of-center constituency that unfailingly votes for those who hand out freebies and taxpayer funded goodies.

The only question becomes, who will be left to foot the bill for DWP retirement packages, universal pre-school, financial aid for illegal alien college students, etc?

Ron Paul has said that nothing substantial will change until the collapse of the dollar and massive civil unrest. People will not confront reality until that happens. I believe he's right.

Study the financial collapse of Argentina a decade ago. A corrupt elite mortgaged the country in much the same way as our elite. The bankers came in and asset stripped the country. Now I hear that Obama's administration is talking about nationalizing 401(K)'s and IRA's. This happened in Argentina. This is the equivalent of a country being foreclosed upon by creditors.
