This one from George Will talks about California as the testbed for economic progressives.

If, since 1990, state spending increases had been held to the inflation rate plus population growth, the state would have a $15 billion surplus instead of a $42 billion budget deficit, which is larger than the budgets of all but 10 states.

This one from Sherman Frederick deals with that horror from DetroitDC, Zombie Chrysler.

President Barack Obama would do well to remember the simple lessons of this novel (Steven King's Pet Cemetary) as he proceeds to bury the nation's auto industry into the rocky soil of socialism. Dead companies that re-emerge zombies of the state won't behave quite right. They will be new creatures propped up by taxpayer cash, stumbling around in an American consumer system with no fear of the normal consequences of failure. Absent free-market pressures, Obama Motors will produce cars born by congressional fiat (pardon the pun).
