California, one of the richest economies per capita in the world is officially bust.
Arnie Scwarzeneggar has declared a fiscal state of emergency.
Apparently the State legislature is deadlocked from a duff decision in the 70s and can't raise taxes and so can't pay state employees' salaries and perks.
What affects Cali affects the USA and what affects them causes a lotta grief all over the world. So a petty problem there may cause unpleasant ripples elsewhere. Will Obama give them a bailout ? We will have to wait and see.
