Budget Is Not California's Only Problem

When the Bush tax cuts expire and the 10% bracket suddenly sees a 50% increase on their federal tax... maybe then they will think twice before voting for Obama in 2012 as they did in 2008. Anyway, Obama WILL REMAIN until the end of his term the "Ten-Percent-Unemployment-President." So far, there are no indicators to the contrary. Even if conservatives take over the Congress and try to pass legislation to help improve productivity and consumption, Obamanomics will veto everything. So, Obama has already lost 2012... it's time for him to start lobbying the U.N. to get elected as its secretary (or better: run for President of Kenya... when -- lo and behold -- the man's Kenyan passport will suddenly appear!)

I don't think Kenya would have him. They turned down his old man when he suggested they become the Commie Cuba of central Africa. For IMO primarily that reason Kenya is 1 of the least screwed up countries in Africa today. That might not be saying a whole lot, but when you compare to Sudan, or Zimbabwe, or Zaire, or Liberia, or Ethiopia...

Read the Huffington. There you will see the passionate alternate view. A Religion, if I ever saw one. Logic, History and the fact that 2+2 still equals 4 matters not.

The Golden State has not been looking so golden for a while now. California has budget deficits that get bigger ever year, despite imposing among the highest tax rates in the country in every category. These factors have begun to chase businesses and their employees to other states that are better managed and far less costly. Yet as bad as these economic conditions are to the burden of running a business (not to mention raising a family), they are only part of the reason that it is so difficult to operate a profitable enterprise in California today.

It is no surprise...
