It should be noted that the 11.2% unemployment rate that was posted in March is the U-3 rate - some have publicly stated that they believe that the U-6 unemployment rate is approaching the 20% mark in the state. The U-6 rate is a broader measure of unemployment, and includes people who want full-time work but have given up the search, as well as people who want full-time work but are forced to accept part-time jobs due to "economic" reasons.
Is your argument completely subjective?

Did I miss it or did the article mention SDI (disability)? Wells Fargo is my bank, so I guess I can finally move my account if they won't accept the IOU. Any suggestions for a bank? |

said by sholling :The LA Times is a socialist rag - period. Nobody takes their opinions seriously anymore. define: seriously
The fallacy in your theory is that you see all money as belonging to the government, and anything that they let us keep as "spending". Money belongs to those who earn it, and killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is silly. 1) it's not a theory. 2) you aren't reading with an adequate amount of comprehension. 3) the state earned a portion of your paycheck, so it belongs to them - we're just haggling over details. 4) i think talking about geese and golden eggs is silly.
5) i think you're mistaking "golden" for "gilded." it's a common mistake.

Nothing for California's U-6 rate.

said by jig :3) the state earned a portion of your paycheck, so it belongs to them - we're just haggling over details. No the state took a portion of my income. The details involve how much money that the people allow the parasite of government to suck from the life of the economy before they pass a new Gann spending limit.
4) i think talking about geese and golden eggs is silly. It may or may not be silly but it's is the perfect metaphor. The source of wealth is commerce. Make it too costly for commerce to be competitive or profitable and it either leaves or dies - the death of the goose that lays the golden eggs. The fact that this state's unemployment rate is higher than the national average means that our goose (businesses) are less healthy than those those in other states. The combination of excessive taxes and a hostile regulatory environment are a big part of the reason. You can ignore business 101 all you want my friend but it doesn't change the facts.

| it could just be because there are too many people in CA.
if you drive on any public road to reach work, the state earned a portion of your income. if you stay at home and hear a siren every now and again, the state earned a portion of your income. if you breath air that isn't completely laden with soot, the state earned a portion of your income. if you made $10m by employing 50 workers and providing services around the state, the state earned a LARGE portion of your income.

| I'm on the sholling side of the wording here - and it's more than semantics. The state demands as tribute for the roads, sirens and various programs of dubious value huge sums from its residents. It earns nothing.
The lexicon is a clear indication of where you two are divided. |

The state's portion of Supplemental Security Income and State Supplementary Payment programs for blind, disabled and low-income seniors could receive I.O.U.'s. However, the federal government will pick up the state's unpaid share and the state will reimburse the federal government sp you should not have any problems if this is what you are referring too.. |
