AH WELL, DON'T EXPECT MUCH - SOME CHOICES: California, Redevelopment Agencies Face Off Over Funds - WSJ.com
I can't recall which state was recently cited for having more than 12,000 retirees with pensions of over $100,000 - but I'm sure California is way above this number.
Clearly we'd need fewer police if drugs and prostitution (for example) were legalized. So fewer police, many fewer prison guards (and fewer prisons). How much would this save?
And, then make the teachers union illegal and bring some sanity back to education programs. Many acknowledge that not only would education improve (rationalize special education for example) but costs would go down. How much could be saved here?
Would any of the above sound likely with the unions and liberals in charge? Likely not; thus, things still need to get worse before they can get better.
Maybe a true blowup in the Middle East will at least be distracting with $6 plus gas - since the US doesn't want to develop its own oil reserves (too messy! too risky!, etc.).
