California Budget crisis affects Oklahoma

No this is not the for people, this is for the state legislature. I love California, and I have two trips planned to SF in August(Inman news), and September. I helped your economy twice already this year by coming to the state. Now you are mired in a budget crisis, and this 2/3 majority rule, and the insane party politics garbage is threatening Oklahoma. Why? Because your bigger than most countries with your budget! You aren't the only ones facing huge shortfalls at the end of the fiscal year. Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Connecticut, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi are facing similar shut downs of essential services. Folks the money is not there and you either have to shut down government or raise taxes so what will it be? The anti-government conspiracy in every nook and cranny crowd may finally get what they want. It will be an object lesson to see if the world is coming to and end, or if the glory of a new age is upon us. The problem is that as California goes, so goes the nation. With 11% unemployment already, and the prospect that thousands more are about to be unemployed, and with no money to pay out in benefits, what happens now? I guess these people will have more time to attend tea parties? If I am one of the people who receive part of the $3 Billion dollar IOU's tonight, how am I going to keep the electricity on? So go enjoy your name calling that Democrats or Republicans are subhuman non-caring idiots. That does not solve the crisis, and I don't pretend that a few days of budget cuts will take care of the problem. You have a lot of work to do. Just understand that this Oklahoman is one of many who do not think we are out of the woods economically, and could care less about your party affiliation even if you believe it makes you think you are the righteous ones. A pox on both your houses because you people would be the type that would be in a burning theater and you would debate whether to exit front or back and burn up before you reached a conclusion. Thank God I am going on vacation tomorrow. I need a rest from this post.
