Unsustainable
No, not the auto industry. The state of California:
If Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger were to fire every employee in state government tomorrow, it would easily patch California’s enormous deficit, right? Not even close.
But surely shutting down all state prisons would do the trick? That, too, would only get him about a quarter of the way there.
Now what if he were to close every prison and cut off funding for health care and other services for the poor? Now we’re in the ballpark.
When you try to be all things to everyone, you eventually wind up being nothing to nobody.
