The legislature here has absolutely no concept of the real world. They only understand "spend, spend, SPEND!" In their delusional Utopia, cost is no object and accounting flim-flams, slight-of-hand cleverness and outright denial that anything's wrong will hide it all. The C-Net article doesn't go into it fully, but the $20B deficit they quote is after the accounting tricks have been performed. By the way, these machinations are precisely the kind which landed the executives of Global Crossing, Broadcom, and several other corporations in jail. In reality, it's more like a $60B deficit, and with interest will probably cap out at over $100B when the bill is fully paid and the damage is truly assessed. But then again, what happened here has already happened in Washington with the Senate, House and Obama. Trust me, you DON'T want any bloody part of it. Pelosi is from the People's Republic of San Francisco, for Christ's sake! You want MORE of that kind of bovine excrement? There is a movement afoot to change our state flag's symbol from the California Golden Bear to an ostrich with its head buried in a septic tank (or perhaps more appropriately, up its own arse). </soap> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Do you know where _your_ towel is? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
