California (my home state) is <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/07/01/california-to-issue-ious-to-elderly-after-missing-budget-deadlin/">going to issue I.O.U.'s to seniors,</a> disabled and welfare recipients starting tomorrow because our State Legislature cannot agree on a budget. <em><strong>This is outrageous beyond belief!</strong></em><br /><br />Next time someone refers to California as the <em>"Golden State"</em> the laughter from all corners of the nation will be deafening. They say that California Bonds and Schools will not be affected.<br /><br />What I want to know is whether the politicians will be getting paid in I.O.U.'s. There are many people in the land of the petition and ballot initiative that would be in favor of a law that says the politicians do not get paid for twice the time it takes to settle the budget beyond yesterdays (June 30) deadline.<em><span class="symbol"></span></em><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/07/01/california-issues-i-o-u-s-eat-that-seniors/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>California issues I.O.U.'s -- eat that seniors!</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/07/01/california-issues-i-o-u-s-eat-that-seniors/">California issues I.O.U.'s -- eat that seniors!</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:50:00 EST.
