Schwarzenegger Will 'Declare Fiscal Emergency' In Weeks

I can't wait until California collapses on itself.

It may hurt the rest of the union for a bit, but the end result will be well worth it.

IIRC, the CA budget is a real bear. Something like 80% of the budget is entitlements which are beyond the control of the Governor and Legislature.

After he screwed all gun owners and hunters with the signing of Microstamping and the Lead Ammo ban he and his state can go bankrupt for all I care. Hopefully San Fran will be first to go.

Its Mexifornia now and Mexico should pay the shortfall!
Arnold is a liberal democrat in republican clothing.
Liberalism cost money and benefits the non producers and thats nothing new.

The best thing that could happen to this country as a whole would be for California to fail from a massive well publicized financial disaster.

With all of the other financial warnings we keep hearing about - the war in Iraq costing a trillion dollars, the amount of our national debt, the dollar falling against other currencies, the massive spending increases during the Bush adminstration, etc. etc. etc. - what is really needed here is for people to wake the fork up and realize that it is our own government that is destroying us thru their reckless financial policies and spending.

Maybe once people feel the cold breath of financial disaster breathing down their necks they will stop believing some of the bullshit that gets spewed by the politicians and others about what is going on and start demanding real concrete change - in other words drastically cut back spending on a state and federal level.

If Hillary gets in all of these bad finances might not go well for gun ownes though - politicians typically like to divert attention away from their failures - so if Hillary gets in it is a guaranteed thing that the economy will get worse - socialists do not know how to handle money after all. When the poop starts to really hit the fan all it will take for another AWB or something similar to come down is one or two shootings like we have had recently. Hillary and the liberals will do this to take attention away from their other problems - same as her husband did when he got caught getting blowjobs in the Oval office - he went and started bombing another country.

If you really want to keep your guns you had better start paying attention to more than just the laws that directly affect firearms ownership. The country that was handed to us by the founders was a package deal - small govt. defended by the Constitution. Now that the small govt. is gone and the Constitution gets violated on a constant basis we have finally come to the point in history where the right to bear arms essentially depends on the whims of the general mood at any particular time.

Cull the federal govt. down to the size it was supposed to be and it will no longer have the power to affect firearms ownership the way it does now - if we leave it at the size it has become we will be fighting for 2nd amendment rights forever - and will in all likelihood lose them sooner rather than later.

Count me as one person who is standing on the sidelines hoping for collapse. Then maybe we can rebuild the Republic into what it was supposed to be.

It wouldn't take one more vote to eliminate an "entitlement" program completely than it did to create it in the first place. But it's so useful for big government supporters to pretend that they can't really do anything about it.

Which is why we should hope for collapse. This is a similar problem to the drug abuser - or one of those people who eats their way to 400 pounds. As long as they can keep getting away with the bad behavior they will continue to claim that there is no way they can change it. Going into cardiac arrest and seeing the white light however - sometimes - changes things. Lets hope the current California problem is close to white light stage. It probably isn't though. And even if things get really bad - the feds will bail them out. Which will of course only accelerate the financial crisis this country as a whole is facing.

People keep asking me why I am buying so much ammunition.
