homer86 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I just read on cnn http://money.cnn.com/2009/07/12/smallbusiness/california_small_vendors_ious.smb/index.htm?postversion=2009071210 that Cali owes small business to the tune of 3 billion dollars. This is dumbfounding that the federal government will give 7 billion dollars to a failing corporate company (GM) but wont give money to Cali. I am very against Federal powers stepping on States but at this point in the economy the federal government has already thrown out all the principles this country was founded on. I would much rather see this money go to save the small businesses that drive this country than a company that ended up in bankruptcy and for what? Nothing the governement does anymore suprises me anymore. We need to stand up for what this country was founded on and what it stands for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unc7237 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 My dad was telling me about this. He lives in Canyon Lake, CA. He said they even issued IOU's to people that over paid state taxes for 2008. He is one of the many that received such an IOU. Crazy huh?????

homer86 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Its nuts. Thousands of hard working people over pay there taxes especially in CA and at the end of the day they get a thank you note and a peice of paper thats only worth 3.5% interest. The people should charge the state payday loan type interest rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMax33 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Well, at least we have the right president in office. I mean, he's been very frugal so far in regards to spending money. We all could learn something from him, LOL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 i read an article the other day they were talking about legalizing reefer so they could tax it and make money off of it. in some counties there you are allowed to have like 8 plants for your personal use. no doctors note required.

shittygsxr Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 If those I.O.U's were worth the paper they were written on I am sure you could make a killing buying them for $0.50 on the dollar. I am sure someone is already doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
