•Jefferson County, Alabama to Put One-Third of Workers on Leave as Money Runs Out

Quote from Mom0/pH0x:

that whole state is an astonishingly corrupt and incompetent shithole.... truly the armpit of america...

No, that would be your mother's womb.

This had more to do with an extremely corrupt mayor and city council than derivatives or anything else. Those were just tools that were inappropriately used.

wow, classy AND creative.... shoot for the stars ... no, i've lived all over the usa, and am fairly well traveled... alabama is an inbred shithole... corruption is rampant... violent crime, drug addiction, illiteracy, teenage pregnancy, all very common... 16 year olds with children aren't uncommon...

Uh, yes, you started the classy and creative part. I guess you never picked up proper punctuation in all your travels?

I love the statistics on teen pregnancy...oh, wait, there weren't any. Break it down by race and you'll find all the mythical white trailer trash are mostly just that...mythical.
 
Quote from countryBoy:

Isn't Birminham, Alabama the place where the Mayor was trading derivitatives against the city's (or county's) municipal debt? I think the dude lost $1/2 billion or more. And he never even ever bothered to stopped by here to bitch about how everything sucks.

The fact that he was incompetent doesn't bother me as much as the fact that he was corrupt.

Living high off tax payer dollars recycled through investment banking fee kickbacks.

This makes Alabama the moral equivalent of a Third World tinpot country where this kind of activity is standard.
