Imagine you have little money and you are renting a room in a house.  You pay most of your income to rent, but the people who own the house are not good with money.  The people that own the house get 3 months behind on the mortgage and the house is in foreclosure.  They suddenly get an offer for a credit card that will cover a part of the mortgage and save the house you are living in at least for a while longer.  They decide to ask you if they should get the card to save the house and inform you that if they use this to save the house, they will have to raise the rent and if they do not they will lose the house and you will be evicted.  WHAT CHOICE CAN YOU MAKE?  You cannot afford more rent, you cannot be homeless, and you cannot imagine them suddenly getting any better with money even if they save the house and you will probably be in the same boat soon anyway.

This is how I see today’s vote in California.  It is a lose, lose proposition with doom and gloom being preached by both sides of the argument.  We are doomed if we vote yes, we are doomed if we vote no, and we are doomed if we don’t vote.

The only thing that is clear is that the government in California as it is has absolutely no ability to fix the problems here and the people are so divided that at either extreme that it will be this way for a long time.

I am about to vote, but what a crock all of this is.  Vote yes and they get the credit card that will cover some of the debt, but also makes more and inevitably robs from something else to pay for it.  This also means raised taxes in several areas. 

Vote no and it’s the end of the world for our economy in California and we will be without fire fighters, and police etc. (according to the commercials). 

We all must vote and have our voice, but what a choice.
