Monday's Image and Lesson: How NOT To Run A Government.

Now California's troubles were coming way before Arnold became Governor. California has been the true test of government run everything and what happens when you offer everyone everything. It is a failed "Socialist Experiment" that has put that Government on the brink of disaster, actually they are already there. Too many promises that they will not be be kept and they have no answers for their woes. With the exception of offering I.O.U.'s instead of tax refunds.

They can't raise taxes anymore because there is nobody else to tax. Businesses are leaving the state, especially ones that create jobs. They regulate all the other businesses and treat them like crap. The entertainment business thrives yet many films are being shot elsewhere, even in Canada because they are much more friendlier to them.

When the text books on how to run a government are updated maybe they should change the names to "How NOT To Run A Government!" Other states that are close behind are Maryland with the "How to Blow A Billion Dollar Surplus In 10 Days", New York's "We Control and Tax Every Aspect of Your Life", and of course Massachusetts with "Government Run Health Care Didn't Work Here, So Let's Do It for the Country Anyway."
