*California, in the wake of the crushing defeat of their new tax and spend proposals, is now demanding a federal bailout. 

RELATED: California’s Morning After, by Ed Morrisey.

“Tax revolts are mighty fine, just like gold rushes, but not when the same electorate insists on spending money on IOUs and demanding a nanny state on the cheap. Californians have to come to terms with their own bad choices as well as a political class that lacks the courage to say “no” to more spending, let alone cut the current level of spending to any great degree.”

“But a federal bailout is an injustice to the residents of other states, especially those that run their governments responsibly. Why should taxpayers in Colorado, Virginia or Ohio pay for California’s incompetence?”
