@MTH posted:When Arnold left California was facing a 27 billion dollar deficit. Jerry Brown balanced 8 straight budgets, and left with a 6 billion surplus. Maybe Washington should take the lead from California.
Most stares have balanced budget amendments. How much of the debt balancing is one the back of CalPers (IOUs) ? States do accounting tricks that would get a normal accountant thrown in jail.
“CalPers debt now stands at an all-time high $146 billion, an average of more than $11,000 per California household.”
This is more than the annual tax revenue generated.
