Looks like Arnold is going to get a taste of what former California governor Gray Davis went through. No that long ago, the Governator promised to clean up the state''s bleak finances. Maybe the U.S. can broker a sell of California to China and/or Japan. One less thing...

Hell''s Bells, didn''t they save anything for a rainy day?

It''s the small states that really benefit from federal spending.   Ironically, these are almost entirely red states.

Who benefit''s from federal spending?
