If you don't have the money, you shouldn't buy it!

Okay, so I'm going to complain about California.  It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. Way tooooo many people! Everywhere. Doesn't matter where you go, you have traffic jams, or just lots of people. ugh. anyway. Not to mention the fact that the weather and location make is a serious draw on water resources in the western US. But that is a rant for another day. Today I want to complain about the Cali government that seems to think wasting money on a high speed rail system is a good thing. Hellllllloooooooo!! They can't even pay their teachers, or their public employees, and they are talking about constructing a multi-billion dollar high speed rail system! Get your damn priorities in order! I understand that the rail system is an attempt to decrease the green house gas emissions, but there has got to be a cheaper way to do that. In order to pay the teachers and other public employees the government has proposed new sales and income taxes to be voted on in the next election. Wow, really? Why don't you try converting buses, and public vehicles to electricity, or liquid propane, or compressed natural gas. Or put solar panels on your parking lots & office buildings? Or put gardens on the roofs of your office buildings? There area millions of other, CHEAPER, ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions other than taxing the people some more. I don't even live there and it makes me mad! Someone needs to knock some sense into people! Good grief.
