California Fails, 1st time since Great Depression Options

[playr158]

California is now $42 billion in the hole and the end comes Jan. 31st....that is the last day the state will be issuing checks for tax refunds and most services

Instead you will get a piece of paper from a bankrupt state that says the state owes you money and will pay you sometime in the future.

"Federal law requires that many school and healthcare programs – a total of about $6.6 billion in California – must be paid, the Los Angeles Times reports, so Chiang has announced an expected payment freeze on $3.7 billion worth of the state's bills, most of it refunds owed to taxpayers.

But even with the freeze beginning next week, the Times reports, California will still fall $346 million short for the month of February, forcing Chiang to consider something only done once since the Great Depression: issuing IOUs. "


to the liberals!
