California drivers can't line up to renew their licenses Friday. Wisconsin natives can't order copies of their birth certificates. Georgia consumers will have to postpone registering complaints with state watchdogs. And stranded motorists in Maryland may have to wait a little longer for highway-department help.
Across the country, cash-strapped state governments are shutting down business for a day at a time to save money. State offices are shuttered Friday in California, Maine, Maryland and Michigan. Rhode Island had planned to join them until a judge on Thursday blocked its closure plan.

Heavy Lifting: California Gov. Schwarzenegger tests a dumbbell Thursday at a Tujunga home burned by wildfires. Essential services like firefighting have been spared as the state shuts offices a day at a time to save money.
Some state agencies are closed in Georgia and Wisconsin, and most Colorado state offices will be shuttered on Tuesday. Other states, such as Arizona, have been trying to keep their operations open while furloughing thousands of workers.

Thanks for producing and posting this video. There is no doubt that the US and the West are in a depression.
ReplyDeleteHope no one thinks this little thing is a hardship. If they do, they won't make it when there is a total collapse.
ReplyDelete"The State" never saves even a penny during good times, which is something that really has to change.Delusional.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed wearing my depression T-shirt very much. Very nice quality, gets great reactions.
ReplyDeleteThats funny, cause I just wore my "Depression" tee shirt for the first time this AM to the grocery store. Checker could not understand it. I basically told him to keep watching his TV and everything will be ok.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great shirt and I plan on wearing it frequently.
You will soon need to print new ones with "2010", maybe change it to "Greatest Depression 2010".
And the local and state Police depts and Federal Cop Agencies continue to get huge funding with "funny money" from our criminal Federal Government. We must build up the Police State! White Al Qeda is everywhere!
ReplyDeleteNevermind the state governemnts or the citizens.
What is happening to our once great country is all by design. And the dumbed down, mindless TV addicted General public prepares for the new NFL season and the World Series. That's what is important, not these crazy conspirator theories, or what many consider "REALITY".
Stock up friends, gold, silver, storable food, water and ammo. Time is running out, You will need it very soon!
"I survived the 2009 collapse and all I got was this t-shirt"
ReplyDelete6:47 thank you for finally saying something truly original. All these dumbed down iodiotic mindless american sheeple need to invest in gold and face masks like the real smarties.
