Just read that California municipals are setting up 40 year no pay, interest accumulating debts. A 40 year balloon payment of over a Billion dollars to finance 100 million now. Ironically the teachers that shape our children, the cops that Police our streets and the Firemen that protect our homes are going to be what destroy our nation, as it is impossible to pay them the retirement and benefits spineless politicians have promised. Not sure when California slides into the economic ocean, but it is inevitable. As the State gets in trouble it will push it's problems to the local jurisdictions which will fold like a house of cards.
