    "Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger implored them Sunday not to make the state "the poster child for dysfunction" by defeating a host of measures on Tuesday's ballot that seek to restructure the state's bleak finances."

    "The public is under the delusion that they can have everything -- potholes filled, new freeways, a good education system -- but they aren't willing to pay for it ... A lot of critical services are going to be cut and there will be serious consequences," said Jim Hawley of the Elfenworks Center for the Study of Fiduciary Capitalism at St. Mary's College of California...California is in such a bind it may also need a cash rescue by Washington, said Daniel Mitchell of the University of California Los Angeles's School of Public Affairs: "If we got what they've already thrown at the auto industry, that would solve our problems for the next year or two."

    It's now official: Caliofornia, the poster child for dysfunction.

    So GetRefresh, you're going to be on the front lines making sure California doesn't get any of that dirty Washington money right? Becuase you sure ain't going to pay your taxes to the state, right?

    And then the schools close, and the prisons empty, and the roads go unrepaired...

    And then in two years, you're going to be out in force saying "See, the dems in the california legislature can't run anything!"

    Dysfunctional alright.

    • Good post, but the rhetoric is thick and sensationalist. CA will be fine in the long-run. No need for Fed $$$.
      ********
    • Also, CA roads are already rated the 2nd or 3rd worst in the nation. Horrible they are. Potholes and roads crumbling everywhere.
      ********
    • ... everywhere. Schools in my community are top-rated. I expect them to stay that way, despite cut-backs.
      ********
    • Emptying prisons is rhetoric. It should never happen.
