The last paragraph of that article would be funny if it wasn't so ridiculous:
"California clearly has mismanaged its fiscal house," Nickelsburg said. "It seems to me it would be very difficult to convince states that have not mismanaged their own fiscal house to come to the aid of California."
That is the kettle calling the pot black considering the federal government is the most egregious offender as far as mismanaging their own (actually OUR) fiscal house!
