It will ultimately be "interesting" only to those who milk the system, that is, until the system crashes.

I suppose it's "interesting" that Boxer and Reid has another term in the senate as well.

Yes, Californians have greased the rails to speed up the state's imminent demise.

Quite frankly, given the financial devastation of this state - in terms of what is owed and what industries have been lost (not to mention the taxpayers who had those jobs and left the state), I'm not sure an election could alter the course.

Without a doubt, "Reagan Country" is long gone. It has been replaced by a left-of-center constituency that unfailingly votes for those who hand out freebies and taxpayer funded goodies.

The only question becomes, who will be left to foot the bill for DWP retirement packages, universal pre-school, financial aid for illegal alien college students, etc?

Ron Paul has said that nothing substantial will change until the collapse of the dollar and massive civil unrest. People will not confront reality until that happens. I believe he's right.

Study the financial collapse of Argentina a decade ago. A corrupt elite mortgaged the country in much the same way as our elite. The bankers came in and asset stripped the country. Now I hear that Obama's administration is talking about nationalizing 401(K)'s and IRA's. This happened in Argentina. This is the equivalent of a country being foreclosed upon by creditors.
