.Anyone have more information?
sonofgloin,
No, but it certainly makes the Californian Government a hell of a lot smarter than ours.

individual,

Why am I not surprised by your last comment?

The last time I looked, California was bankrupt - how "smart" is that?

Poirot,
How uncanny, so is Australia. (if you really think about it). Take the foreign debt out of the australian budget & see how much is left in the coffers. You'll find it's a lot less than in California's.

I take it you're interested in reading future projections, if only for the fact that imbibing the information allows you the recourse to dismiss it.

Actually, individual, it's interesting. California has a GDP of 2 trillion (one of the biggest economies in the world)...yet its revenue is only 366 billion while its spending is 438 billion. Its debt to GDP ratio is only 20.5 percent.

I have no idea what California's foreign debt is, however.
