No, no la tienen. El intervencionismo USA es también muy fuerte.

Y encima allí son mucho más dependientes de la energía (población dispersa, clima helado o tórrido y casas enormes de madera).

California Moves Closer to Delaying Tax Refunds, Other Payments




California moved closer to delaying tax refunds and other payments to preserve dwindling cash in the state, in a new indication that the state's budget crisis is worsening.

State Controller John Chiang announced Friday he would take the action beginning Feb. 1, unless California lawmakers come up with an agreement to close a projected $42 billion budget deficit by mid-2010. Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Democratic-controlled legislature have been deadlocked for weeks over how to resolve the budget crisis in the nation's most populous state.

In all, more than $3 billion in payments, including tax refunds due to millions of individuals and businesses, would be delayed. Mr. Chiang said he would also delay payments to state vendors, local governments expecting aid for social programs and individuals expecting rent or food assistance. "Let me make this point," Mr. Chiang, a Democrat, said in a press conference. "Delaying these payments will hurt real people, many of whom are barely hanging on in these tight times.''

The controller said that his staffers are also looking into the possibility of issuing IOUs next month. In addition to the groups that would have their payments delayed, IOUs could affect payments to local governments, recipients of college grants and state judges and lawmakers and their staffers.

The controller's announcement comes a day after Gov. Schwarzenegger delivered a somber State of the State address, in which he urged legislative leaders to put partisan squabbling aside and quickly deliver budget solutions. The budget crisis has already forced the governor to order most state offices to close two Fridays, beginning in February. The unpaid furloughs will cost affected state workers about 10% of their pay.

In addition, a state board last month halted funding for $3.8 billion in construction projects, but the board decided today to free up $650 million of that sum.

48.000 millones de dolares son unos 30.000 millones de Euros. El ayuntamiento de Madrid debe, el solo, 9.000 millones de euros, casí 1/3 de lo que debe TODO el estado de California, con sus Chili con Carne (Silicon Valley) y demás. Y ha entrado en default, mientras que en Madrid se quejan porque desde el Ministerio de economia no les dejan endeudarse más.

Acojona que no?

Ese es nuestro futuro.

¿Cómo era aquello de que España podía construir más casas que Alemania, Francia e Italia juntas porque eramos la Florida / California del mediterráneo?

Un proceso similar tuvo lugar igualmente durante la Gran Depresión de los años 30.

A nivel internacional, la mayoría de analistas coinciden en señalar a la crisis económica actual como la más dura desde la Gran Depresión. En España, en cambio, la situación no llegará a igualar la vivida en 1993
