(That radio-controlled glider is 5 to 6 feet wide along the wings...)Time to Salvage California
Once gold in California shaped its state.
It is no more grapes and vegetables, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and Mexican immigrants, legal or illegal, that would save Californian poor people.
It is the Pacific Ocean where Columbus, if not Amerigo, should have been sailing to Japan passing Hawaii and Iwojima 500 years ago...
SECTION I: IOU (I Owe You, GOD)
The California State has $26 billion deficits, being forced to issue special financial notes called IOUs:

General Information about Registered Warrants (IOUs)
1. What is a registered warrant?
A registered warrant is a "promise to pay," or an IOU, that is issued by the State when there are not enough funds to pay all of its General Fund obligations. Registered warrants bear interest and are redeemable by the State Treasury only when the General Fund has sufficient money. If the Legislature and Governor fail to enact budgetary solutions that provide enough cash for the State to pay all of its bills by July 2, the Controller will begin issuing registered warrants. Assuming there is adequate cash in the Treasury, those warrants may be redeemed on October 2, 2009. Both the issue and the maturity date will be printed on the warrant. If the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) determines there is sufficient cash available for redemption at an earlier date, the warrants may be redeemed earlier than October 2, 2009.
4. What is the difference between a registered warrant and a regular, or "normal" warrant?
A regular warrant is redeemable by the State Treasurer after it is issued. Registered warrants are negotiable instruments, but they will not be redeemed by the State Treasurer until the warrant matures on October 2, 2009, and the State has enough cash to cover the amount of the warrants. If the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) determines there is sufficient cash available for redemption at an earlier date, they may be redeemed earlier than October 2, 2009.
7. What happens if my financial institution will not accept the registered warrant?
You may decide to open an account at another financial institution that will accept registered warrants, or you will have to hold the warrant until it matures on October 2, 2009.

Governor Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger must realize that the plight California is suffering cannot be solved by California alone.
Governor Mr. Schwarzenegger had better try to find friends in Japan.
SECTION II: Ninomiya Sontoku (1787-1856)
I recommend every global elite, including Governor Mr. Schwarzenegger and Tokyo Governor Mr. Shintaro Ishihara, to study work achieved by Ninomiya Sontoku, a civil reformation practitioner in the era of the Tokugawa (samurai) regime of Japan.
-----
Born into a poor family, Ninomiya was completely self-educated. Through diligence and careful planning he was able to develop and increase his family’s landholdings. His success came to the attention of local officials, and he was soon invited to join the government. There was nothing revolutionary in Ninomiya’s system. He taught peasant families how to budget their expenses and plan their work, and he advocated mutual aid and cooperation in farm communities. Nevertheless, his methods achieved remarkable success in improving agriculture; his fame became widespread when the regions that he had developed suffered very little during the great national famine of 1836.
Ninomiya was also a moral leader who believed in the value of hard work and the dignity of manual labour and was able to instill in the peasants pride in their own occupations and the urge to follow his example of working to improve the general welfare. In the long run his ideas may have helped spur a desire for a more equalitarian social order.

[Note: Ninomiya is a surname and Sontoku is his first name, as it is a name of the one who lived before the modernization of Japan starting in 1868.]

That is why I am telling you that the Japanese economic success after WWII owes its tradition of its unique Buddhism (and the Christian-democratic Constitution).
It is time for California citizens to learn the Japanese Buddhism to conquer the large-scale social plight.
It is so, since even the past excellent Japanese socialists and communists were more influenced by Buddhism rather than Christianity, in my humble view, especially in their defining standards of justice and friendship.

First, Japanese politicians must fully realize that Japanese businesses heavily invested in Taiwan, Korea, and China during the "lost decade" rather than in the Japanese domestic market.
So, contrary to views of most of American economists and politicians, Japanese businesses, including Toyota and Honda, have never experienced the "lost decade."
The size of Japan is almost equal to that of California. Japan has been at the limit of economic and industrial success in terms of the geological size and the natural environment.
Maximum GDP the people are allowed to output without destroying the land and the nature of Japan has been already reached in Japan in early 1990's. It is the truth of the "lost decade" for Japan.
So, the extension of the Japanese GDP is now found in Taiwan, Korea, and China. So, though consumer power of Japan has been limited in its expansion due to those environmental (and cultural) conditions, Japanese businesses have now bases overseas and retain potential for further expansion, like in the case of Toyota vs. GM.
Therefore, Japanese politicians themselves must fully grasp this truth to give advice to President Mr. Obama and Governor Mr. Schwarzenegger so that they will turn their eyes even to Canada, Cuba, and Mexico (hopefully as far as Columbia) to find room for expanding American and Californian GDPs. Then American and Californian businesses will grow and accumulate potential to save the governments. (NAFTA has been operated too superficially comapred with Japan's financial investment and industrial involvement in Taiwan, Korea, and China.)
It is so, since Japan's (at least psychological) stability depends on a number of businesses with accumulated potential to salvage the Japanese Government.
Finally, Japanese politicians must fully realize that the success of Asia, India, and China has been also the underlying success of Japan who has sacrificed its further prosperity in the form of the "lost decade."
They must look more proud than Asians, Indians, and Chinese.
It is so, now EEE-Reporter has first in the world presented this "Environment-GDP Correlation Theory Applied to Japan."
That is all for this week, with reverence for Jesus Christ.

Luk 7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
Luk 7:5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
Luk 7:6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
Luk 7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
