ONE CHIRP – Yes, bail them out, we can’t afford to have states fail because of their unfettered fiscal policies.  We, that worked hard, should share the fruits of our labor to bolster the failed policies of entitlement states.  Only higher taxes can fund them – raise ours.  Redistribute wealth - share the pain of irresponsible behavior.

TWO CHIRPS – No, behavior is a result of its consequences.  If we bail them out, their debt will expand to fill the windfall.  Therefore, we require that they cut entitlements (pain) and bloated government.  We expect them to regard and respond to illegal immigration for what it is.  We expect them to respect the sources of their money – taxpayers. 

As go California and Illinois, so goes the United States of America.
