As far as running out of money....

I am in favor of raising revenue.

In California the gov is still looking for about $16 Billion. The new Gov, a Dem, spoke to the Republicans about it and they refused to consider any tax increase. So the Gov wanted to put it on a ballot and let the people vote on increasing taxes.

The Republicans, who apparently fear the people, said no to this as well and have the votes to block such a proposal from being placed on the ballot.

So the Gov is starting a petition to have this placed on the ballot. Republicans are now trying to find a way to prevent the petition from being considered.

The Republican solution? Destroy all public Unions and reduce the standard of living for every public employee.
