Red flags over cities’ bankruptcy filings

• Glenn Beck talked about this happening at least 3 years ago. He was laughed at for saying it.

  • Don't you just love how the left denigrates Beck, and what he says then comes to pass?

    Poetic justice doesn't even begin to describe it!

    • Funny though, how the progs don't take drubbing their noses in the puddles of proof as a lesson. Their natural reaction is to discount everything outside their delusion, especially hard proof reality! Like that moron who was supporting anthony weiner during his downfall, was this guy posting here? I can't recall right now, but I did copy the page and save it to a file somewhere. Anyway, dookie dildo - not his actual screen name - was railing about how weiner never did it and it was all a right wing conspiracy to discredit the great chuck shumer wannabe. When I pointed out that weiner had in fact ADMITTED he did it but was refusing to abdicate his little throne because it wasn't a big deal, mr. dildo insisted I was lying and that he wouldn't believe weiner did it if weiner himself called him and told him. I think it was here that this putz was posting and he disappeared immediately after.

      • That Brett Kimberlin dude was posting here?

        • I don't think so, I haven't been SWAT-ted!

      • Well Dean, I'm trying to remember that episode, but I have been pretty well mentally exhausted from dealing with the crap going on around me. However, that doesn't sound too far off from what I would expect to have seen here.

    • The left have very little long-term memory. That's why they have to be told over and over and over again what their "talking points" are. Eventually it sticks, but everything else evaporates almost immediately. So, they don't remember what Beck said, and even if they did, they would pick out some inane point to argue, like "well, he said it would happen in TWO years, and it didn't, so neener neener - he was WRONG!!!!"

      • Unless, like John, they only have to remember one talking point per person, and no facts to back it up. Just drone on.

      • Right, like 2 years and 3 months really makes that much of a difference!
        Delusion, thy name is democrat.

• U have the bloodsuckers on 1 side and the producers on the other. U C u can only take so much before there is no more to take. So the blood suckers must die.

  • I get the sentiment, I don't like the rhetoric.

    • Nor the grammar.

• Well, we of course must blame the voters.We had governor moonbeam in office before. He stank then, and he stinks now. But we did this to ourselves. What scares the holy bejesus out of me, is that we are gonna do the same thing with that $#!t-head in the White House.
  WE need to get the liberals out of education, entertainment, and the media. I'm starting to have my doubts that divine providence will still be on out side, since we've moved so far afield of our original religious roots.

• Looks like someone knocked over that first domino.

• I wonder when the city of Los Angeles will go bankrupt?
  I have heard estimates as soon as 2014.
  I live here and it cannot come soon enough.
  Flush the public union contracts , that is a BIG reason why Los Angeles is in massive debt, along with a worthless city administration and mayor.
  Time to move.

  • Oh Jeez. Mayor Villaraigosa. Every time I hear him speak, or hear John and Ken speak OF him, I retch.

    • I didn't know John and Ken were in Cali.

      • They're based at KFI radio, in Los Angeles. They've done a lot of good for our anti-big government movement.

        • Ok, I remember them from 101.5 in NJ.

  • Didn't I just read the other day that LA co. school district's budget is 6 [b]illion a year? Know I'm from flyover country, but that just blows me away.

• At last Utopia. I imagine all liberals in the country will now be flocking to Kookafornia since their brothers have finally achieved the goal they are all seeking.
  More likely the liberal loons in Kookafornia will be flocking to other states to screw them up as well.

• The cities first, then the state. Behold the fruits of Democrat governance, high taxes and public union greed.

  What worries me is the effect of California's collapse on the national economy.

  But, hey, they got high speed rail.

  • After we bail out an effing state we'll look back at the GM (United Autoworkes Union) bailout and think, "That wasn't so bad."

    I get so depressed at the possibility that this country will fall, slowly at first, and then rapidly away from the greatest country in the history of mankind. What makes it worse is to think of the hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans that have given their lives to make it such. What a utter disgrace.

    • After we bail out an effing state we’ll look back at the GM (United Autoworkes Union) bailout and think, “That wasn’t so bad.”

      No, I think we'll be saying, "This was only the beginning, how bad will it get?"

  • Yes they do have high speed rail....now all they have to do is mandate that all residents use the rail line and call it a tax. I'm sure the 9th circuit and the supremes will go along with that.

    • But,..........I don't WANNA go to Madera! Can I pay double the tax, and stay home?

• What would you expect from a state who's early leaders wanted a PEAR on their new flag and somebody screwed up.

• Stupid Bush.

• "The economy is getting better" So say Obutthead, hmmmm appears his foot, once again is in his mouth. His buddies who run Kalifornia are just as clueless as he is.....Like John with his corporate greed bullshit, Jerry Brown, our assclown governor, blames it all on Prop 13 that limited property taxes, he is always bitching about it, he can't touch it and it's a big source of money the state can't get to and it pisses them off, that's why we have fees and taxes for everything, The Folsom Fire department joined some others and is now charging you for a paramedic response to help you, just about 300 bucks. I wonder if they are going to have a credit card machine in the ambulance? and the stupid among us just keep reelecting liberals never getting a clue that they caused this mess in the first place. Yeas but lets spend 68 billion in bond money on a fucking train between Bakersfield and Madera. The name of the state should just be simply, the "state of Stupid".

  • "and the stupid among us just keep reelecting liberals never getting a clue that they caused this mess in the first place" Notsosilent.

    AMEN!! THAT'S GOSPEL.

  • The state motto "Eureka!" Needs to be changed to YouReeka.
