Here’s an implication of yesterday’s landslide that I haven’t heard any of the pundits pick-up on yet …
Both CA and NY stayed comfortably in the hands of spend and tax Dems.
Both states are rapidly approaching bankruptcy … largely due to the gov’t payrolls — bloated with public union employees … and subject to inefficient work rules, high pay, life-time job security and ridiculous pensions.
None of the elected Dems will pull a Chris Christie and go after the public employee unions — in part because the don’t want to, and part because the they can’t — the unions carried them to victory.
These states were bailed out by Obama’s save-the-states stimulus program.
Well, well, well.
Now, what are the chances that a GOP House will pass bills to bail out CA & NY ?
I think the chances range from slim to none.
So, Brown and Cuomo will be stuck facing up to their state’s problems.
It’ll be interesting to see what they do …

AND they are the suckers that pay all of the taxes!
