Kasich is up 49-46 now. You want to talk insanity? Look at California who will elect Jerry Brown, who is beholden to any and all unions....which are directly responsible for their $500 BILLIION deficit. They may indeed slide into the Pacific within the next year or two. Obama won't be able to bail them out now.

So what happens if California gets in trouble under your leadership? We let them sink? Because I don't believe that'd be very helpful.BGFalcons82;542896 wrote:Kasich is up 49-46 now.

Not our problem. Let them sink. What, we bail out California and then all 49 other states line up for the handouts or is California somehow special?

I don't have a good answer for that.
I just know that California "sinking" as I said wouldn't be beneficial to any of us or the nation. Neither does bailing everyone out. It's an issue that I have conflicting thoughts on. On one hand I believe the states can and should stand by themselves but on the other hand I realize that California having a massive crisis could definitely infect other states.

Cali is failing BECAUSE of unions. overspending, and other Democratic spending spending spending. Subsidizing failure = more failure. Just like GM...they have to learn what is failing in order to fix it. Keeping their hand on the red-hot stove burner when they should be pulling back is sure to burn their hand beyond all recognition.
The point is they are insane to believe more of the same will fix them from the ones that got them into their mess. They are expecting different results with the same players. DOH!!

For people that have no way to travel out of the state you could send a federal bus to pick them up and drop them off in Arizona.
