Don't give California or New York or Illinois money?
Sounds like a good plan to me.

Re: U.S. states to file for bankruptcy
This is sad. The Nation fell during my lifetime. I lived to see it.
Re: U.S. states to file for bankruptcy
This is awesome. F--k those states and their over bloated public sector unions
The public will not miss the ticket-pusher-roving-tax-collectors nor the brain-dead-but-tenured-middle-school teachers.
Sooner or later: our over bloated military will get slashed to a sane level and a hundred million leaches and illegals will stop getting their social-security and welfare checks. Bring It On!

Re: U.S. states to file for bankruptcy
The big O is going to declare we need more jobs in his state of the union address.
This guy has a good idea if you plan to watch.

RULES OF THE GAME:
Every time Barack H Obama mentions bipartisanship, everybody has to drink 2 shots of beer. If he talks about the lessons of Tucson, the last person to throw their arms in the air, fall to their knees and shout "Hallelujah!" has to drink 1 entire beer.
Everybody has to drink 2 shots of beer whenever John Boehner appears to cry. 1 shot of bourbon if he breaks down sobbing and disappears entirely from view.
Every time Barack H Obama says "Democratic leadership," the first person to stop laughing is exempt from drinking 2 shots of beer.
If either Vice President Biden or the Speaker of the House Boehner is seen nodding off on camera, last person to start singing "Wake Up, Little Susie" has to drink 3 shots of beer.
If the President says the State of the Union is good, but could be better, the last person to eat a fully accoutered hot dog has to drink 1 shot of bourbon.
Whenever the President defends ObamaCare, everybody drinks 2 shots of beer. If he mentions Congress voting to repeal it, drink a whole beer and throws hot dogs at the television. The first person to hit Nancy Pelosi in the head is exempt from having to drink 2 shots of bourbon.
If the President relates a touching heartfelt story of a supporter who was denied a decent education, Rags gets to kick everybody else once. Twice, if the subject of the anecdote is in the audience. 3 times, if he/ she is sitting next to a 2 star general.
Every time President Barack Obama talks about his resolve and adopts a frowny look with his brow all furrowed and stuff, drink 1 shot of beer.
If the Chief Executive winks at or points at Michelle, all 4 players swordfight with hot dogs. Whoever is left with an intact weenie does not have to eat an entire shot glass full of that weird green relish.
If the president mentions the Chinese President by name, the last person to ask "Hu Dat?" has to drink 2 shots of beer.
EXTRAS:
Optional: Have all players drink with left hand. Unless left- handed. If they are caught drinking with dominant hand, they must watch the entire Republican response and no drinking allowed.
If the Dancing Baby from Ally McBeal appears on the screen at any time, stop drinking immediately.
Banker takes home money, shot glasses and bourbon. The I.O.U. is discarded.
Leftover beer and hot dogs go home with Rags after he/ she finishes washing the dishes.

Re: U.S. states to file for bankruptcy
The idea that state or federal government can create jobs is like the idea of a perpetual motion engine... flawed for very similar reasons.

Re: U.S. states to file for bankruptcy
I don't see how the American public can fail to see that the three most liberal-run states are the ones in flirting with financial disaster. I mean that literally - how can the super-majority of Americans fail to see the flaw built into a socialist system?

Re: U.S. states to file for bankruptcy
That's just it, they do see. But we are still be marginalized by a corrupt media that is beholden to a powerful and vocal liberal minority. GM should have failed, Greece should have failed and now these states should be allowed to fail. Either we will get back in control of the government in the next couple of election cycles or they will tank us all.

Re: U.S. states to file for bankruptcy
In my experience people abhor anything financial. They don't do an "accounting" of their OWN assets and income let alone what is going on nationally.
Heck, many people don't even follow the balance of their own checkbook.... and it isn't just lazyness or lack of accounting skill either. Many of these "financial fact-ignorant" people aren't what we consider poor either.
Seems to me there is a wanton disregard for responsability... apathy... in our country.
It is easier to go on with life and ignore it all.

The public wears blinders.
Demand stringent background and mental health checks on your politicians.

The sooner, the better. The longer we wait to see such issues taken by the horns, the harder they will be to deal with.
I agree with a previous poster - we are witnessing the fall of our United States. Unfortunate, but... inescapable.
