Good Grief! Calif. Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

Facing budget cuts, a Northern Calif. city decided to forgo an expensive freshly cut, full-bodied Christmas tree this year for a lopsided, brownish one already growing in the city plaza. (Dec. 9)

4) This type of randomized, demonized distrust is characteristic of someone who knows little, but talks a lot. I will agree with you that the state politicians are doing a crappy job removing deficit when it's a goal. Yet, they aren't "wasting money", they just aren't allocating it as efficiently as possible. That doesn't mean they're working some anti-American, paranoid goal that you and other media sources seem to be implying. Politicians are human, too.

3) it isn't numbers; it's propaganda that you're believing without any actual knowledge. Show me literal numbers and leading economic indicators that California is "bankrupt". I want actual indicators, not overhyped "budget deficit" because as far as I can tell, EVERY state has a deficit. California's is larger than most given the population size and wealth and of course it affects the way state is run. BUT, it does not mean California is out of money or anywhere near bankrupt.

1) God never got into the subject; "the word of God" is a metaphorical saying that insinuates a person clings to words someone has said as if they are an absolute truth without thinking about it.

2) California is not bankrupt, and the fact that you're stating this is proof that you have no clue what you're talking about and ignored all I've already said.

how did God geet into this subject? im talking about the facts that i get from diffrent kinds of scources that California is one of the most bankrupted states in America. its all numbers. and its because of the politics spend money on things that their state doesnt even need. what other way could it possibly be besides a natural dissaster or a scam which i have heard nothing of from anyone for that one state

[Rawrcakes]

It isn't because you watch and read news that makes you ignorant. It's because your take every single word they say and spin it into the word of God without thinking for yourself or even understanding how economics works.

[Rawrcakes]

Because you don't realize every single source you're reading is biased in some way, and reported news is essentially a ball of hyped media frenzy. It has facts, of course, but they're bent in a way to sell.

To people lacking any sort of theoretical background regarding economics, they may as well proclaim every word spoken as absolute truth. It will be absorbed and reiterated without penance.

so your telling me that what i read, listen and watch that the news brings me is not accurate?? lol ok

[Rawrcakes]

You have literally no idea what you're talking about, like the poster child of an uneducated American. I don' t think I'll bother explaining it.
