OK CA has a budget surplus if you forget about thier debt. Just the CA government workers pension debt is about 1 trillion dollars. Those in charge ain't talking about that. CA is ranked DEAD LAST in budget transparency! CA's budget is, as usual, full of tricks and questionable accounting. One of the more dubious ploys involves borrowing from special funds. This year, there’s a proposal to borrow $6 billion (with a “b”) from the state’s Surplus Money Investment Fund to reduce the unfunded liability of the state’s pension fund, PERS!
Other things to think about. CA has the largerst number of people on "public assistance. They have 39.5 million people of which 30% are on the take. That's a little more than 11.8 million people. That's over twice the population of KY. I case you haven't been following the news businesses and people a fleeing CA. He's the trick. Businesses take jobs with them as they leave. And the folks fleeing the state? Those with enough income paying taxes. Can you tell that this is a system that's going to eventually collasps like a house of cards? It just isn't sustainable. Funny thing is CA's population is stable in numbers. Where it's in trouble is that most of the new arriavals need public assistance while most of those who are leaving do not. Fella from CA that I talk to claims that in his area there are about 60 applicants for each open job position. Other areas of the country there are jobs and not enough workers.

What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
