California - Going the Way of Greece?

Sent to me on e-mail. An analogy on why California is broke and will soon be going the way of Greece.

"Life is tough. It is even tougher if you are stupid" - John Wayne

Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks dog.

Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.

He calls animal control. Animal control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 upon relocating it.

He calls veterinarian. Vet collects dead dog and spends $200 testing it for diseases.

Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting bite wound bandaged.

Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while wildlife services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is clear of dangerous animals.

Governor spends $50,000 of state funds implementing a "coyote awareness" program for residents of the area.

State legislature spends $2 million investigating how to better handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate the disease. SEIU and ACORN win the bid to conduct the study.

Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack and for letting the Governor intervene. Cost: $75,000 to train new security agent.

PETA protests the coyote relocation and files suit against the state.

If the same thing happened in Texas:

Governor shoots coyote and keeps jogging. Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. Buzzards eat dead coyote.


Any wonder why California is broke????
