Yup. But it's all going towards "obligations" already like paying
six-figure retirements to public workers.

I wouldn't be angry at those public workers, though, but rather angry at
the bureaucrats who allowed such arrangements to be made in the first
place!


Here is an excerpt of how bad it is, you only need to read the first few
paragraphs:

It becomes very clear that there are people in leadership positions who
do not give a hoot about taxpayer monies. This is why most Californians
are against any more tax increases. Because they don't solve a thing,
they only make it worse.

Jon: This is _exactly_ what I mean about the value of the media we have
in the US. It is often the only way to unearth stuff and to make sure
there's enough egg in some faces so things are corrected. Even though
the paper I quoted is too left leaning for my taste I am still a
subscriber because I don't want it to go under, it's the only game left
in town. No matter what people say, in the US we are truly blessed with
our media.

Our middle of the road Tribune went under, so I was reconsidering
subscribing to The Arizona Repulsive, just to keeps tabs on the
nutcases.

So I went to their website and read a few articles.

There's a limit to what nonsense I will pay for.

I guess I'll just have to get my "print" news from the BBC ;-)
