I don't think that it's so much that they're spending themselves into disaster, it's that the system there has rendered the state ungovernable. A large portion of spending is mandated, it requires an unworkable supermajority to raise taxes, and property tax valuations are stuck in the 70's. This is all due to California's proposition system.The normal representative democratic system would have a majorty party, or coalition which could enact changes as needed to address issues, implement new programs, and the like. If what they were doing was unpopular, they'd pay at the ballot box ultimately. What's happened here is that the straightjacket that the propositions have put into place has effectively prevented the legislature from being able to make significant changes without an exceedingly unlikely supermajority. It's natural that the minority party be against the actions of the majority party, but the supermajority rule gives them an effective veto over majority action. The minority doesn't pay a price for this since it's really their job to some extent, and the majority party has a built in excuse for not doing anything ("We tried, but they stopped us"). Thus we end up with institutional gridlock. If the state weren't facing some rather significant problems, it likely wouldn't matter much, but that's certainly not the case currently....and yes, this is a microcosm of what we're seeing at the national level with the abuse of the fillibuster in the Senate. Let the majority party act (within constitutional bounds, of course) and hold them accountable for what they do/don't do.
Or sleep around.

The train has already left the station. The MPAA can either try (and fail) to make everyone a criminal, or figure out a way to make money giving people what they want. This is a fact that no amount of lawyering can change. They may as well try to put DRM on gravity..
West Virginia is not part of the South. It's an abomination that was created because it wanted to stay with the Union during the Civil war. That makes it the retarded step-child of the Northeast.!

Correct me if I'm wrong... But isn't "Indian" still considered a disparaging term for "Native Americans"??
We are the forgotten, the forsaken: we are upstate NY. |

He claims in the video there are no web sites making any "real" money in the world... I didn't realize Google was so poor.I don't get it though, if he want's a pay-to-view site just make it pay to view.... What's so complicated about that? I could give ***** all if they did this. Hell, I could give ***** all if every news corporation in the world did this (under the assumption there would be better reporting), I still get to select my news source(s) and it's not going to be News Corp.The argument is logical if he admits that his news is total crap today because he is not making money and can't afford to hire proper reports or do proper research. If this is the case sure, go ahead and charge for news. However, when I look at a profitable news agency, let's say oh Fox News™ is the reporting really better? Nope. Money is not why "a lot" of News Corp news is garbage, sorry Murdoch.... |
