California Will Run Out of Cash in 50 Days

Don Surber, a West Virginia newsman, has some thoughts:
State controller: “The State will run out of cash in less than 50 days without corrective action by the Legislature and Governor.”

How do you take a state that has the coast, the sun, the mountains and more resources than any other state and screw it up like this?

I am stunned by the sheer scale of this incompetence. California has the largest population, it is the third in size and it is 8th in per capita income; it has the 8th largest economy in the world.

How on God’s green Earth does this happen?

Well, we know: Living beyond its means

Don makes some good points. With everything our state has going for it there's no way we should have spent ourselves into oblivion.
