WILL POWER REPORT: CALIFORNIA TO SELL COLISEUM?

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version Share this

Nothing but the Truth! California’s Governor “Terminator” Arnold Swartzenegger is now so frightened about California’s deficit that he now wants to sell off California landmarks like San Quentin and the LA Coliseum. He also wants Big Oil to drill off the coast of Santa Barbara which he has opposed for years. He thinks the state can earn $200 Billion. He’s using a self-created crisis to change the political landscape in California.

Never trust a man who works for free. Swartzenegger’s great idea to finance California by borrowing from New York Banks has enriched the banks but ruined California’s credit. We now have worse credit than Bangladesh. But why stop there? Sell the Golden Gate Bridge! Sell San Francisco to China! The Federal Government could sell Yosemite to the Japanese. Don’t know who would buy Detroit? Even Canada doesn’t want it. San Quentin could be converted into a huge dog kennel without much delay or cost. Maybe if we sell the LA Coliseum to the Rams they will return from Saint Louis. We could let Disney manage the State Park system. That would keep the parks from closing, but it would cost $200 to visit for one day. Since we are giving so much cash to the banks and insurance companies I see no reason to stop the Big Giveway. Sell the LA River to Six Flags and they can build the world’s largest skateboard park. Sell Griffith Park to Mexico for a theme park. Make the Grand Canyon into an ORV test track. The possibilities are endless. I don’t know what we could do with the prisoners from San Quentin. Perhaps we could send them to Mexico as tourists. This seems to be the wave of the future. Give all the land and money to the rich, since they obviously are better managers. They’ve done such a great job with the banks we should reward them with more responsibilities! We should just give them all our public property so they can manage it for us! Will Power is a retired teacher who holds a masters degree in creative writing.
