List of some other defaulting states besides CA

Quote from CET:

You clearly don't know the difference between a default and a budget gap. Most of those states are still arguing over budget maneuvers. Cali could fix their own problems but refuse to make the hard decisions. Let them crater.

Hmm...lets see...you cant pay your employees, but thats not a default? I know if I dont pay my mortgage, i am in default. If i dont pay my credit card I'm in default"

Can you imagine a guy calling up his credit card company and saying "yeah, I cant pay you this month...I'm having a bit of a budget gap. I will have to give you an IOU."

How is that not a default?

The state would rather owe it to them all of their lives than cheat them out of it...
