    A "state a month" financial plan
    Since nothing else is working, I suggest fixing the economy one state at a time. Deal with the immigrant issue and anything else that is sucking each state dry.

    Take 30 days of one-on-one time with each state, than move onto another. It should take a little over 6 years and by then Obama will have this turned around.

    I also propose that all bailout money is rescinded and spent directly on the housing problem.

    It would take more than 6 years just to fix New York.

        How do you "fix" those left wing idiots in California? They caused a bridge repair project to cost 20 times more than it should have because they marched and protested and demanded "engineering" studies and demanded a bicycle and pedestrian lane (separated from cars by a concrete barrier), blah, blah, blah, cased the project to take YEARS more than it should have to the point that the federal government said "**** it, you pay for the damm bridge". I have been on that bridge, the idea of bicyclists or pedestrians crossing the bridge is complete lunacy.

        Building permits cost $40,000 because of the endless "environmental" studies that have to be done and the endless public interference by "activists".

        Opening a new business is nearly impossible because of the harasmment the business owners will get from the "activists". Any big project costs 4 to 5 times more than it should because of endless public "inquiry".

        How do you fix idiocy like this?

          Curious,

          California is "beyond" hope. We haven't had a budget for three months, we've got a Governor whose been a total waste of time and a legislature that should be booted out of office.

          Spend the time and money elsewhere.

                should they not pay taxes as well?

                    Hey, I've been pushing for Texas to secede. We can actually do it legally but the government has said NO WAY. To much comes from Texas. I can dream though.

                      Instead of 1 month each, shouldn't it be like electoral college votes and rationed out due to population?

                      Spending a month in Wyoming and then a month in New York just doesn't seem to grasp the severity of each state's situation.

                      Due to the iffy design of your plan, I'll be voting for Willie in 2016. Sorry Bob.

                                      Me too, buddy. Would love to take our military and leave. Government wont let it happen. China would come and invade California before you could blink. Majority of military is from the south. We'll take it and let you sit there while they invade and take everything you have.

                                        china would invade california eh? thats an interesting take on their foreign policy, which doesnt seem to start wars with far away countries for resources.
                                        why would they invade the 5th largest economy in the world, and possibly the place that buys more of their shit than anywhere else.

                                        nobody wants to invade the usa.

                                          Exactly, because the south is here. Let us go away and lets see if all the other countries in the world wouldnt flood your ports and have fun. What would you do about? You have no military?

                                            youre right
                                            california doesnt have military bases, except 6 afb, a dozen naval bases (we have an ocean touching), half a dozen marine bases, a few army bases, and a shitload of coastal guard and natl guards

                                            .
                                            you act like international affairs are a videogame, as if countries all want to start wars

                                            newsflash: there is one country who starts all major wars over the last 50 years and it aint china

                                                  I feel the same way about Cali. No reason to live or want to live there. Just a difference of opinion. Its all good.

                                                        if you dont like skiing, surfing, hiking, or outdoor shit, or nice weather, than i agree, no reason to live in CA.
                                                        if weather doesnt matter to you, save money and live in middle usa, no doubt. also, its very expensive to raise a family. hence my folks moved to dallas in 1980.

And get all your mother ****ing left wing bureaucrats out of our state and LEAVE US THE **** ALONE and we will be perfectly happy. Oh, and don't tell us we can't drill for oil off our shoreline, 90% of the people in my state support oil exploration off our shore. While we are at, relieve us from ALL of the absurd regulations the federal government has, which is 100% of them. And take us out of the war on drugs. We don't want the DEA arresting our teenagers any more.
