    California will run out of money well before that. And that's not even factoring in a potential big earthquake that devastates the area and costs billions in damage. Enjoy the sunny weather while you can.


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    There are around 2 million people in prison within the United states that are on record ( not counting military detention centers and so on) It cost about 23,000 dollars per year per prisoner, according to a 2001 report and that doesn't include whatever health care they are given, maintenance, material, food and all those knick-knacks.

    The money has to come from somewhere. The system isn't perfect but it does cost to maintain it. Times are tough.
