I was sent this by email this morning.

Technically, this is a joke, but I am placing it in the political section because it is the type of political humor found in the editorial section, not the comics. Texas is in the black with billions in surplus due to the balanced budget requirement of the state constitution ... unlike California and the United States.

CALIFORNIA VS TEXAS

The governor is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A
coyote jumps out and attacks dog.

California :

#1. Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie "Bambi"
and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is
natural.

#2. He calls animal control. Animal control captures coyote and
spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 upon relocating it.

#3. He calls veterinarian. Vet collects dead dog and spends $200
testing it for diseases.

#4. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for
diseases from the coyote and on getting bite wound bandaged.

#5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while wildlife
services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is clear
of dangerous animals.

#6. Governor spends $50,000 of state funds implementing a "coyote
awareness" program for residents of the area.

#7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating how to better
handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate the disease.

#8. Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack
and for letting the Governor intervene.

#9. Cost: $75,000 to train new security agent.

#10. PETA protests the coyote relocation and files suit against the
state.

Texas :

#1. Governor shoots coyote and keeps jogging. Governor has spent
$ 0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. Buzzards eat dead
coyote.

Any wonder why California is broke????

The cost of a .45ACP round is no longer 50¢ thanks to 'The ONE' and his desire to rid us of our guns - people are buyin' it as fast as it's made and driving up the supply / demand price curve.
