How the States Are (Barely) Coping

California is hurting for certain. The tax measures failed and will go to general election. We will say hell no to another 12 cents per gallon of fuel, a one percent increase in general sales tax and an open threat to our sacred Prop 13 tax shelter.

I saw good pictures of assemblymen sleeping in the chambers last night! A far cry from visiting the galleries in 2002, when not a one could be found. Good! Let them do some real work, sweat it out, like the rest of us!

Good Luck and May your Dow never Jones!
