California is America's Greece by RHJ King:
To think that Greece's troubles are an ocean and a sea away from where we stand in North America is to have your head in the Mediterranean sand. In Greece we have
** a near bankrupt, over-indebted, overspending nanny state, drowning in future liabilities;
**where civil servants are pampered and overpaid;
**in which unions are demanding a continuation of their inflated wages and entitlements; and
**productive individuals and businesses are leaving for more favorable climes.

But it doesn't work quite as well when there are three, on the way to two, working and paying for each retiree -- today's reality…
Tax increases and benefit cuts, with the goal to make the existing Social Security system solvent, would only make a bad deal even worse for every working American.
