Have you noticed that Enron is not being blamed anymore for the $38 billion deficit being experienced by California? I'll admit that Enron did cook the books in the energy scam that stung the Golden State, but not to the tune of $38 Big Ones. Like an addict seeking more and more nose candy, the state legislature went on a snorting and spending frenzy, cooking its own books, and now, its own goose in the process. And just like a drunk, trying to convince a doubting spouse, "Honey, I'll cut back on my drinkin', and everythang will be OK!" And here comes the California legislature, making $7 Billion in cuts, thinking everything will be OK; sounds like somebody out there needs a refresher course in math. Or reality.
