One study showed that California governments are over $1 trillion in debt. Most of that is in the form of unfunded pension and medical liabilities owed to state employees
To be a bit more accurate, it's monies owed to state-level pension funds for county, district, and local employees. One of the 'benefits' of having powerful unions like the CSEA and centralization.

Fear notteth, Linda Ronstadt, all the US has to do is transfer the US Fed-State-Local Debt from the "National/State Debt", etc. Ledger to the OWG "Global/World Debt" Ledger ...
WHERE THE USoAMERIKA IS NO LONGER OFFICIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS PER SE NATIONAL DEBT UNDER POST-2015 OWG-NWO + GFU [but SSSSSHHH ... CCCCC weirdly-n-mysteriously, but only PCoincidentally, is irregardless].
Accounting tricks for that kinder, gentler, Fascists-for-Communism Globalist shennanigans.
Teresa Heinz Kerry's condition has been upgraded from critical to "fair," according to a front man, after the wife of Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... was rushed to a Massachusetts hospital over the holiday weekend.
Kerry front man Glen Johnson said Monday that Heinz Kerry continues to undergo further evaluation. He said the secretary of State and other members of the family are with her at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Doctors upgraded her condition after conducting a series of tests.
"The family is touched by the outpouring of well-wishes," he said.
Heinz Kerry was first taken by ambulance to a Nantucket hospital on Sunday. The family has not offered additional details on her condition, though speculation has focused on symptoms potentially connected with those of a seizure.
Nantucket Police Lt. Jerry Adams said a call requesting medical aid was received just after 3:30 p.m. for a home on Hulbert Avenue, and an ambulance was dispatched. Online records show the property is connected to Heinz Kerry's family.

If he resigns, would there be any noticeable difference in the State Dept? The career weasel-wordsmiths at Foggy Bottom are already running the place with little attention paid to the otiose popinjay SecState.

Unless THK's condition is much more serious than disclosed, I don't see it happening. This guy is in doing the job he feels he was destined to do. His rolodex is HUGE and he revels in being in the thick of big foreign policy issues. He is tireless and runs his staff ragged - though they all say he's a nice guy. The WH may try to rein him in but he's livin' the dream.

That it is even a question further erodes whatever authority is left after being caught playing on his dingy then covered for. Seems like he is batting below the Mendoza line, but he is a superstar - so who would replace him.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
