California at the Brink ofInsolvency

Contributing Factors: High foreclosure rates Increasing joblessness Loss of state revenues Relative size of budget gap Legal obstacles to balanced budget Poor money-management practices

Worst-case for California's budget deficit next year?

“Deficit next year could hit a staggering $25 billion.”

“Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's best-case estimate: $12.4 billion.”

The governor has already promised "across-the-board cuts."
