if they were to cut spending today... it would ONLY be because they bankrupt their own state as the housing market collapsed and they found themselves in the midst of a major recession. it wouldn't be because cutting spending was seen as a prudent and wise thing to do.. but is only being considered simply because its the last available option, assuming Black Jesus doesn't try to bail out California as an option.
Even facing the obvious fact that there is only one choice... to cut costs and programs, they aren't doing it. They certainly aren't going to do it any other time and over the long term as some sort of new found fiscal responsibility.
this state has always been in financial trouble and its always raised taxes as an answer and a financial collapse has always been inevitable.

True. Most likely they will get some federal money and they will make some cuts then when the economy eventually turns around and things are getting better they will go right back to their overspending ways.
What amazes me is how the leaders of that state see there is no options in front of them yet they won't vote to cut spending. It would seem to me the best choice would be to take an active roll in the spending cuts so you might be able to protect a few key things that might otherwise get cut as opposed to just standing around and watching as it happens then complaining later.
But then again I guess that goes with the whole making sense thing and most of our elected leaders will have no part of making sense.
