Times article linked above:<br /><br />It is hardly a secret in the Capitol that lawmakers sometimes approve budget measures despite their dubious legality because it buys them time. The hope is that by the time the appeals process is finally exhausted -- which can take years -- the economy will have rebounded, filling the gap with new revenue. It's a kind of borrowing. Such was the case with a plan a few years ago to put off some payments into the pension fund for government workers.<br /><br />The plan was passed in 2004, on the tail end of the last budget crisis. It stayed on the books for several years. By the time it wound its way through the litigation process, state revenues were on the rebound and there was enough cash to take the plan off the books. "These cases can go on for a while," said Daniel J.B. Mitchell, a professor of public policy at UCLA. "It's a way of pushing liabilities into the future."Pleather Mursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128585033868187384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-57161665073534983302009-08-11T04:55:25.121-07:002009-08-11T04:55:25.121-07:00Looks like Casey spawned some blog humor on Stuff ...Looks like Casey spawned some blog humor on Stuff Unemployed People Like: <a href="http://stuffunemployedpeoplelike.com/2009/08/10/133-starting-a-paypal-account-for-donations/" rel="nofollow">#133 Starting a PayPal Account for Donations</a>Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904897174639892035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-45994329112149561112009-08-10T23:21:44.611-07:002009-08-10T23:21:44.611-07:00Thanks for the link, Jim.

S...Thanks for the link, Jim.<br /><br />What a great story...<br />Sue the state for billions that is doesn't have. <br />Ensure the state doesn't receive federal funding.<br />Drive up state legal costs.<br />etc...<br /><br />I love it! Everyone stop spending on everything except essentials. Let's get the tax revenue way down.

But the malfesence is so brazen with that guy. He can't tell the difference between running against Sacramento, and running Sacramento into the ground.<br /><br />And it seems that the summertime swan dive is beginning for the stock market. I see the same thing happening as last year.Lost Causehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396272153746076615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-41839069486300247722009-08-10T20:30:36.124-07:002009-08-10T20:30:36.124-07:00Is the link to 'Jim the Realtor' supposed ...Is the link to 'Jim the Realtor' supposed to take you to Jim's site?Tyronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04226876002855072090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-46563929957669166212009-08-10T20:23:40.324-07:002009-08-10T20:23:40.324-07:00It's just $10/mo.
