Moscow Mitch sez states can just declare bankruptcy

















Isn't that what the Trumpet did in Atlantic City? LMFAO...………. :rolleyes:

Most stated have been bankrupt for years. NY and CA the longest. They want their bailouts to cover their fiscal, social, etc. mismanagement. This is nothing new.
Mitch is right. Printing more funny money only prolongs the inevitable.

Wrong. Figures on Nov 20, 2019 show California's budget continuing to be in a good position. It's estimated that the state legislature will have a $7 billion surplus available to allocate in the upcoming budget process, and in addition, will build an $18. 3 billion balance in the state's rainy day fund by the end of 2020‑21.

As far as Moscow Mitch goes? Good luck on that re-election Mitch. :rolleyes:

NY and CAL most likely fund the opiod addiction recovery clinics in Kentucky.

7 billion? 18.3 billion? Even if true they’re pathetically small numbers compared to these! CA likely the worst run state in the nation! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Read it and weep, idiot boy!:p


  • Pensions. Between the two pension systems, the state’s pension unfunded liabilities are estimated to total $93.1 billion ($59.7 billion at CalPERS for state employee pensions and $33.4 billion at CalSTRS for teachers’ pensions). These pension unfunded liabilities largely are due to (1) historical contributions being below recommended amounts, (2) past actual investment returns being lower than actuaries assumed, and (3) changes to actuarial assumptions (for example, assuming that people will live longer and that the system’s investment returns will be lower in the future).
  • Retiree Health. Whereas the state has prefunded pension benefits for many decades, the state only recently began setting money aside to prefund retiree health benefits. Actuaries estimate that the state has only $874.3 million in assets for a liability of $86.5 billion—meaning the state has an unfunded retiree health liability of $85.6 billion.

Bingo! Why should taxpayers bail out these shitholes? Their not third world countries..... yet.
It has more to do with corruption and fraud than true “mismanagement “
The Democrats couldn’t run a lemonade stand.

Don’t let them off the hook so easily. They’re ignoramuses concerning economic and financial matters. On top of that is the fact that they’re jackbooted thugs when it comes to social issues and individual freedom - they only want to allow speech and behavior that they ie the state permits. That’s why I’ve repeatedly and accurately told V that he lives under tyranny, but he’s too stupid and short-sighted to realize it. Because the tyranny isn’t goring any of his oxen at the time, he’s utterly unconcerned that his fellow citizens are being tyrannized by the state. His comeback is always a pretty picture and babbling about nice weather like this substitutes for being a free person!
