California credit rating cut close to junk

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Oh don't worry no SoCal'ers worth their salt are going to end up moving to Texas.

... the proof is in the pudding...and despite the recession...we are not bankrupt and we are still building and creating jobs.....

Exactly. This recession has been very revealing.

In fact, more than 50% of the new jobs created in America last year were in Texas.

That's an astonishing figure.

It is.

Now Jersey, there is a real healthy economy with a deep and diverse population to draw on

We're still a donor state, which along with all the other donor states prop up the real dead weights like Alaska, Alabama, Kansas and Oklahoma

Jersey suffers from many of the same structural imbalances California does. We're smaller so when our credit ratings get slashed we just don't make the news

It is the Texas model that is being vindicated here.

Not an option, the federal government must feed.

That makes no sense. I already pay my share - maybe the subsidized states should pay CA back all that extra federal money they've been getting.

Kind of like Louisiana...

Wait, why is Louisiana dead weight? Thought they were still experiencing some job growth...as recently as this past spring?

Hmmm.I don't think so as Texans will not be subjected to the federal gun control laws that the other states are.....
