Doing something will make them unpopular, and in CA politicians are professional politicians. They go to lobbying afterwards, and they want high paying jobs. So why would they do anyting now that might hurt their chances later? Also - I heard her solution is 50-50: but I agree with you, that's not 50-50. That's like 33-33-and ignoring the other 33%, or at least the option for another thing. She's ignoring that cuts are - and should be - an option. This is how we want our leaders to act? Ignorant? And unable to do the basic math we ask high schoolers to do? Here’s the thing - they don’t want to do anything.

I find it funny that you are trying to get people to pay attention to these things. No one wants to pay attention. They are struggling to pay their bills and mortgage and keep their standard of living as it is now. No one wants to look at how they might be affected. Who wants to see, or hear, how all this mess is being solved. Or in this case - not being solved. I guess going out of town when you have a job to do is a new thing. I will have to ask my boss if I can leave and go on vacation the next time an important deadline is looming and I have responsibility to others. Maybe he will let me - or maybe he will fire me. Good luck on figuring out this mess. Haha. I find it funny that you are trying to get people to pay attention to these things. No one wants to pay attention.
