California's budget crisis

Nothing has changed. California's legislative Democrats still refuse to offer a budget that Republican legislators and the governator will approve. The Democrats can't do it without them, though the lower house tried -- passing illegal tax increases just days ago.

How will this end? Only God knows. Ultimately, California's voters are responsible for this mess, having put these immature, idiot legislators into office. (A legislator, who shall remain nameless due to a senior moment, has advertised lately on the radio for a constitutional amendment that would end the citizen initiative process, arguing that only the legislature is qualified to submit issues to voters. Meanwhile, the governator has rightly criticized the legislature for holding hearings on cow tails while the budget crisis remains unsolved.) A court, perhaps a bankruptcy court, may eventually be saddled with solving this crisis. God help that poor court.
