The Governator needs a $7 billion dollar bailout or people don't get paid

They actually do this every year, and pay it off before the end of their fiscal year.

They are worried, though, that they might not be able to borrow the money from their normal sources this year.

Not really a big deal.

That's right. "He'll be back" with the money somehow.

I wish I could get money from the government anytime I got in over my head!

So much BS in this country that drives me mad.

its kind of surprising how many states are in heavy financial debt... for instance here in illinois, we use shady math to stay afloat. our state constitution mandates that we have a balanced budget... so recently they have started borrowing money from various state retirement funds... the state owes itself a ton of money. its all fuddled up.
