Just north of San Diego.  I am pro-nuke, but this really isn't going well.  And we need to secure Yucca so we have somewhere to put the leavings.

California Missile Launch

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/americas/pentagon-stumped-by-apparent-missile-launch-off-us-coast/article1791785/

We were talking about this at work today, and a lot of people think it was a Chinese boat sending off a test missile.  I can't think of what they would gain from it.  The US hasn't threatened them militarily, at all.

Totally different for North Korea.  They could sneak a diesel Submarine into those shallow waters, broach the surface, and fire one of their long range missiles into the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  Then sneak away.  Surface at night and run the diesel...

Not to hard to double up the battery and charging capability, to run longer and faster, under water.

Fixing California

I was reading Newt's Washington Examiner article and he tossed out the "big" problems in California; a $42 Billion budget shortfall. Um, that is not a big deal really. It works out to $1100 per person, per year.

If the people making more than $150K per year pay $2000, the people making less can probably only pay $800 and it would be a wash. It isn't rocket science guys. If you don't want to pay the taxes, you won't get the services. Go look at the roads in Michigan and see what that leads to.

So California votes down the tax increases on May 19th and the Governor in turn will close every State park he possibly can. That means a lot of workers will be laid off and will get unemployment or state aid.

It's crazy, if you want the services; water, trash, roads, parks...you have to pay for it. Why don't yo people examine all of the tax breaks your movie industry gets?? They pay no taxes and rake in billions.
