About ten years ago, I contemplated a move to California. I had a possible job lead and I liked the idea of never experiencing subzero windchills ever again. But now that California has revealed itself to be a political and economic basket case, I’m kind of glad I stayed away. The state’s budget woes are hitting people with disabilities hard, prompting protests and sit-ins. I’m no fan of my governor, but at least he’s not suggesting that my nurses and I get fingerprinted as a fraud mitigation measure.
California doesn’t have a fraud problem. It has a structural deficit problem. Minnesota is in a similar boat and is only one more anti-tax governor away from having to issue its own I.O.U.s.
Thanks to Scott for the tip.
