Well, due to the idiots we’ve elected to run the state, California is getting closer and closer to insolvency. From California Controller John Chiang: “The state’s $2.8 billion cash shortage in July grows to $6.5 billion in September and after that we see a double digit freefall,” Chiang said. “Unfortunately, the state’s inability to balance […]
I started writing this a couple of weeks ago, and figured i might as well dot the “T”s and cross the “I”s and finish it off. This is a thread that might expand as more info crosses the wire. Or maybe not. That could be a different thread. The Government Forced Chrysler and Fiat Merger:
