Default Big banks to stop cashing California IOUs

So much for California's attempt at printing its own currency, which they called IOUs. That's what my dollar bill is, an IOU, isn't it? Unfortunately the Feds will now step in and prop up a failed system. That means I will pay without the benefit of service.

What a sorry state of affairs. Maybe some of the movie stars can start cutting some checks

What is mysterious is that after all these years of telling us the San Andreas Fault was a trouble spot it is now a mystery when it moves.

Being in Ca. now, I don't worry about this. What's really going to happen when the big one hits the SA fault, California will become an island and the rest of the US is going to fall into the Atlantic. Might even take Canada and Mexico with it.
