Oh, and that 8th largest economy part, that is in the entire world, not the United States.

California's annual $1.7 trillion economy is the world's eighth-largest economy and provides a significant chunk of tax revenue for the government; California alone funds many social programs for the entire nation.
...or were simply ignoring it?
No, I'm not ignoring the Californian $1.7 trillion economy, I'm annoyed at the whole idea that they are so big and productive....yet a $25 billion deficit will bring them to a crash.

Not very sustainable now, are they?

Should I somehow be more impressed that the 8th largest economy in the entire world is in collapse over $25 billion? Have them ask China for a loan. Maybe China will be impressed that such a BIG RICH PROGRESSIVE state is on it's knees for such a small sum.

Let them fail. Let them fail. Let them fail.
