No, but I know people who are teachers, and if Prop 30 fails, it will be disaster for our schools. Think of classrooms that are intended for 30 students, filed with 45 students. Think of no more libraries in at schools, old run down computers, books that far outdated. Think of no more sports, no more out of class activities.
FYI other issues if Prop 30 fail include police no longer responding to crimes like burglary, and assault. If your house catches on fire, don't expect anyone to show up in a timely fashion. No money means no police and fire fighters.
I sure hate to break this to ya, but your state is BANKRUPT. Newsflash:
1. Your state has no money.
2. That '5th biggest world economy' Californians like to brag about is a drag on the entire country because of your debt.
3. You're losing hundreds of thousands of people each year.
4. Companies are leaving because of your tax structure.
While you're playing the 'think of the children' card, your entire tax structure is collapsing while people leave. Yet instead of the public sector doing what a company would do (see Ford's example), you're trying to raise taxes. Which just makes even more people want to leave.
You're stuck in a classic left-wing death spiral. Hey, I admire many of the social system systems Democrats endorse. However, you have to have conservative spending at the same time, or those systems will stagnate your whole economy and bury you in debt.
Instead, you tax more, which drives out more companies and people, which erodes your tax base, which means you tax more.
At the same time, you've got your fingers shoved in your ears and are going "NANANANANANANA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" as everyone else in the country is trying to tell you that you're about to crash and burn.
Someone in that state needs to grow a pair balls. They need to start with the pensions, and do exactly what Ford did to save themselves. Sorry folks. Due to your stupid mismanagement while you were in the public sector, we have no money left. So you aren't going to have much of a pension. You can take a one time buyout, or stick around with greatly reduced benefits.
Then you put a two tiered hiring system in place. Wages start at minimum wage, and you can work your way up. *GASP*.
It's truly horrible to have to live within your means. You and your state can tapdance all day, but at they end of that day there's only one thing that's going to save your state from becoming a bankrupt cesspool with no public services at all. Cut spending, and cut it NOW. Get it under control, and stop spending more than you bring in.
Don't worry though. As usual, you'll get the same slew of people coming in and saying that it isn't that simple. That you can't be successful living within your means. That a state isn't a person, and that you don't have to balance your checkbook. That you spend in the downturns and save (yeah....) in the upturns. Here's another news flash. They're full of shit. They're like a 500 pound man who constantly tells people he's starting a diet. Tomorrow.
I live about 30 miles away from the place you're describing in your post. Failing schools. Police and fire that can't answer calls. So many abandoned buildings that they don't have money to knock them all down. So much infrastructure that they can't keep it running. So many social programs that don't work. Run by Democrats for the last 50 years, who couldn't keep their checkbook or their dicks in their pants. Detroit. Take a look at the parallels sometime. Yeah, Detroit doesn't have your location, nor your weather. But you'll see exactly what happens when people ignore the warning signs and don't get spending under control.
Keep tapdancing and finding ways to spend money. Remember when I mentioned someone in your state needs to grow a pair of balls? Clearly, you aren't that guy.
